    Summary The Madurai High Court dismissed the insurance company's appeals challenging liability in two motor accident claims involving a son and father injured in successive accidents on December 5, 2014. The court upheld that the son's catastrophic spinal cord injury—resulting in permanent paralysis, immobility, and complete functional disability requiring feeding through a tracheostomy tube—was sustained in the second accident, not the first, thereby confirming the insurer's liability. Additionally, the court enhanced the son's compensation from Rs. 33,02,600 to Rs. 57,98,000 with 7.5% interest, accounting for attendant charges, pain and suffering, amenities loss, and future medical expenses, recognizing his vegetative state warranted just and adequate relief.
