casestatus.in Summary
Under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, a self-employed deceased cannot be equated to an unskilled worker for computing loss of dependency; rather, his income must be assessed at the level of skilled or clerical/supervisory staff. A 15% addition towards future prospects is mandated for victims aged 50–60 years, with the multiplier method applied thereafter to determine just, fair, and reasonable compensation under Section 166.
