    Case Summary: M.C.O.P. No. 412/2022 The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal at Tenkasi awarded compensation of Rs. 61,45,810 to the family of Sundaraiah, who died in a road accident on October 12, 2022. The tribunal found that the accident occurred due to rash and negligent driving by the car driver (1st respondent) and held National Insurance Company Ltd. liable to pay compensation, as the offending vehicle was insured with them. The tribunal rejected the insurer's arguments that the victim's expired driving license barred compensation, finding insufficient evidence of victim negligence. The wife received Rs. 36,45,810 and each of the two adult children received Rs. 12,50,000, calculated based on the victim's government salary of Rs. 54,972 monthly with 15% future prospects addition and applicable tax deductions.
