Maharashtra Tribunal Awards Rs 27 Lakh in Fatal Accident Case
A Maharashtra Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal has ordered a compensation payout of Rs 27.17 lakh, along with 9% annual interest, to the family of a man killed in a motorcycle accident in 2018. The ruling holds the car driver and his insurer, National Insurance, jointly liable for the payment.

The judgment marks a significant win for the victim’s family, highlighting the importance of stringent road safety measures and the accountability of drivers and insurance companies in such tragic incidents. This case serves as a potent reminder of the need for responsible driving and adequate insurance coverage to protect against such unforeseen circumstances and their devastating financial repercussions for affected families.
