Case Summary: CMA(MD) /499/2020 The Madras High Court modified the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's award in a motor accident case. The claimant (pillion rider) suffered injuries when his two-wheeler collided with a parked lorry on NH 7 in May 2015. The tribunal found contributory negligence at 40% (lorry driver) and 60% (two-wheeler rider), awarding Rs. 1,70,730 in total compensation, but directed the lorry's insurer (Bajaj Allianz) to pay the entire amount. The High Court upheld the negligence apportionment but corrected the payment obligation, directing the insurer to pay only 40% of the compensation with proportionate interest and costs, as the claimant failed to implead the two-wheeler's owner/insurer who bears 60% liability. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
