MOTOR ACCIDENTS AND INSURANCE CLAIMS

Accidents which result in death or bodily injury bring in civil actions where the affected party can recover damages. With increased vehicular traffic, number of accidents has increased tremendously. Money cannot in most cases be adequate to compensate loss of a near and dear one. At the same time, no one can expect compensation as a bonanza. The assessment of “just compensation”, which the statute provides in case of motor accidents is, therefore, a delicate task.

Compensation is ordinarily given to the victim of accident who sustains injuries in the course of an accident or to the dependents of the victim in case of a fatal accident. However, such protection would remain on paper unless there is guarantee that compensation awarded by the Tribunal could be recovered from the person liable for the accident. To overcome this situation, the Legislature has made it obligatory that no motor vehicle shall be used unless third party insurance is in force.
