    Case Summary: MACP No. 236/2021 Court Decision: The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Solapur partly allowed the petition and awarded Rs. 19,31,000 in compensation to the claimants. The court found the tipper driver solely negligent for the fatal accident and held both the vehicle owner and insurer jointly and severally liable for payment, with 7.5% annual interest from petition filing date. Key Reasoning: Despite evidentiary gaps, the tribunal accepted that the offending tipper caused the death based on eyewitness testimony, police chargesheet, and medical evidence of accidental injuries. Using notional income of Rs. 1,08,000 annually (adjusted by 40% for self-employment under age 40), a multiplier of 15, and a 1/4 deduction for personal expenses, the court calculated Rs. 17,01,000 for loss of dependency, plus Rs. 2,00,000 for consortium loss and Rs. 30,000 for funeral/estate expenses.
