Final Orders / Judgements
Summary: The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal awarded Rs. 1,09,91,300 in compensation to the dependents of Jayakumar, a Southern Railway porter who died in a fatal motor accident on 09.10.2017 caused by rash and negligent driving of a TATA ACE lorry. The tribunal held the vehicle owner and United India Insurance Company jointly liable, rejecting the insurer's arguments regarding income deduction for family pension and finding no contributory negligence on the deceased's part. The compensation was calculated based on loss of dependency (Rs. 1,08,01,290), loss of consortium (Rs. 1,60,000), loss of estate, and funeral expenses, with interest at 7.5% per annum from filing date. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
