3/38

punishable in law or there are

other requirements which

reacquire to be proved?

A. It has to be proved in case of accident that

t h e accident was the result of rash and

negligent driving. Thus the prosecution has

to be prove that the person who committed

the accident was driving rashly and negligentlyand only then the offence is proved.

Q2. I had lodged a case for

insurance on account of motor

accident, which took place.

The Tribunal held that the

liability of the Insurance

Company is limited to Rs.

20000/- only. Whether

Tribunal is right in saying so

and what is my remedy againstsaid order?

A. If there is no evidence on the record to

show that the liability of the Insurance

Company was limited to Rs. 20,000/-, the

finding of the Tribunal is liable to be set aside.

The liability of an Insurance company, unless

interest on compensation

granted in a motor accident

case. What is the normal rate

of interest in such cases?

him in a motor accident case. The rate of

interest varies from case to case and lies in the

discretion of the court under the

circumstances of the case.

Q4. Give a detailed legal

procedure to deal with motor

accidents.

A. A motor accident has two facets, one is the

commission of criminal offence and the other

is compensation claim. The person

responsible for causing the accident bynegligent driving is liable to be booked for

criminal offence, further liable to pay

compensation to the victim. However, if the

vehicle is insured, insurance company will

pay.

Q5. I want to know the legal

procedure followed, when we

meet with an accident i.e.

someone is going on a scooter

and unfortunately dashes a

person crossing road, both fell

down and get injuries. But

unfortunately the personcrossing road dies in hospital.

What is the procedure

followed to solve the case

legally? Note: the driver has a

perfect driving license, the

scooter has a third party

insurance, and also the driver

was not going in any wrong

root. It was a mutual collision.

Specify the ways to recover

insurance amount will wehave to go to court. And if we

go to court what could be

punishment and penalty to the

driver?

A. When an accident takes place, a case is

registered by the Local Police. In your case as

the person has died, the criminal case will

attract Section 304 A of the Indian Penal

Codewhich provides for offences relating to

death due to negligence. The State has to

prove that the accident took place with your

scooter and you were driving the same rashly

and negligently. In such cases the statements

of the eye witnesses (if any) to the accident is

required to be produced during the trial. It is

also to be proved that the pedestrian was not

at any fault. To claim compensation you have

to file a separate petition under Motor Vehicle

Act in theMotor Accident Claim

Tribunal. Even if the fault of driver is not

proved still the legal heirs of the deceased will

be entitled to no fault liability from the

Insurance Company.

Q6.The injured of the road

accident files simultaneously

the criminal case and claim

under MACT. In the MACT

case the driver, owner, and the

insurance company are

impleaded as parities. Theowner takes the defense that

the vehicle was unauthorisedly

/ illegally taken away by the

unknown person who now is




5/38

pleaded as driver in the case.

Can the insurance company be

absolved of its liability under

MACT on plea of the owner

that vehicle was driven by

unauthorized person. The

valid insurance contract/cover

with the owner is however not

disputed. Kindly provide caselaw fixing liability on the

insurance company.

A. The owner is liable for the wrongs

committed by his servants only if there was

consent/ permission from the master to the

servant. If the owner is able to prove

successfully (which is most unlikely), the

owner will not be liable to pay compensation

and consequently insurance company will not

be liable as the insured / owner.

Q7. My father was walking on

the street when a scooterist hit

him and he suffered body

injuries. The person who hit

him is refusing to pay. Can my

father claim compensation

from the Insurance Company

third party insurance then you will have to

implead Insurance Company as one of the

parties to the Compensation Application

which is to be filed before the Motor Accident

Claim Tribunal.

case of death of a person

calculated ?

A. In the case where the fault of the driver is

not proved, the legal heirs of the deceased are

entitled to no fault liability which is presently

fixed at Rs. 50,000/-. In case the death has

occurred due to the fault of the driver the

compensation is calculated on the basis of the

life expectancy of the deceased multiplied by

his income. The income for the purposes of

this calculation is 50% of the actual income

which deceased used to receive as the rest is

deducted as the self expenditure. The state of

the health of the deceased and his past healthrecord is also taken into consideration while

deciding the compensation.

Q9. In case of an accident who

is liable. Is the driver or the




6/38

owner who has to be

impleaded as a party ?

A. In case of an accident both the owner and

the driver are to be impleaded as parties. In

such cases the liability of the driver is only a

vicarious in nature while the owner has an

absolute liability.

Q10. My son died in an road

accident 1 years back. He left

behind a wife and 1 child. How

much compensation should we

get?

not proved, the legal heirs of the deceased are

entitled to no fault liability which is presently

fixed at Rs. 50,000/- . In case the death has

occurred due to the fault of the driver the

deducted as the self expenditure. The state of

the health of the deceased and his past health

record is also taken into consideration while

insurance company liable to

pay?

Multiplier method as given in schedule 1 of

If he spends 1/3rd on himself then after

then it will be multiplied with the multiplier

suitable for his age.

I am going through a case with section 304A ,

i would like to know the process to settle the

case. The complainant and witnesses of the

deceased agree to settle the case. Please tell

me the legal process if we all agree at a sum

to be paid. What course of action need to be

taken legally to settle the case and how the

payment should be made.


June 12, 2013 at 12:28 pm

The cases that can be settled or in legal

sense compoundable have been given in

Section 320 CRPC. You can compromise only

those matters. Some more offences, other

than as mentioned in section 320 CRPC, can

be allowed to be compromised only by way of

filing a quashing petition in the High Court. But

the powers of the High Court are discretionary

in nature and for such a heavy offence as

section 304A IPC, the High Court may be

reluctant to quash the same.

Court. Where he is disabled to such an extent

that he could not file a case, in such a case

he can authorize somebody to file a case on

his behalf and the former can come in as a

witness in the case. Generally it takes around

2 years to settle the claim in the Accident

Tribunal. Expectation of compensation

depends upon the facts and circumstances as

pleaded and proved by you. For Ex. Nature of

injuries, dependents, disability etc.

June 18, 2013 at 1:02 pm

Generally when the Insurance Company goes

in appeal, the Honble High Court issues

notice to the respondent/claimant only after

the Insurance Company releases the amount

of around 50% or more to the claimant.

Sometimes where matters are complicated,

the cases are admitted. So, it might take

some time then. You can make an application

for early hearing if your case is admitted.

June 23, 2013 at 12:34 pm

you can file a claim case before the Motor

Accident Claim Tribunal. you must consult

some local advocate in this regard. This is

because of the reason that the procedure for

claiming compensation, even if I explain to

you, you will not be able to file a case in this

regard on your own. You will have to take

active advice from some local advocate.

June 25, 2013 at 11:52 am

Generally, it takes around 2 years in such

cases. The only way is to request your

advocate to expedite the trial. However, theremay such cases where witnesses are absent

or could not be found. The time taken depends

upon the facts and circumstances of each

case.

They will also make your insurance company

as a party in the said case. If your insurance

is proper then in the event of giving

compensation, your insurance company will

be paying on your behalf and you will not be

liable.

medical insurance.

And what about state case after compromise

would there be any jail term?


July 4, 2013 at 2:01 pm

The injured party can seek compensation

under Motor vehicles act. If your vehicle was

insured then there will be no problem becausewhatever the MACT decides, the same will

paid by the Insurance Company. So far as the

criminal case is concerned, if the other party

is injured the offence might be compoundable.

If it is compoundable then there will be no jail

term.

Where the injuries have been caused due to

the negligence of other motor vehicle, then you

can file a case under Motor Vehicles Act 1988

for grant of compensation on account of loss

July 21, 2013 at 7:33 pm

Firstly, make sure that your vehicle was

insured at that time. Then in the event of the

case, if your fault is established then you need

not pay anything and the insurance company

will be making the payment.


July 21, 2013 at 7:51 pm

You can file a claim petition either u/s 166 or

163-A of Motor Vehicle Act, depending upon

the facts and circumstances of the case.

Sir,

I met with an accident on 4th oct 2013 in

Chiplun while traveling to Ratnagiri, I was on

the driving seat and on a narrow lane i was

behind a truck, i just moved my car to the next

lane and was at the centre of the road and a

car coming from other side bang me. I was

driving Fiat Punto and the second party was

driving an Astar (Maruti Suzuki). I was quite

slow and was wearing the seat belt. After the

accident I got down , the other two people

were severely bleeding as they had injuries on

their forehead. I quickly with the help of local

people who had gathered there, sent them tothe hospital for first aid. In the mean time

police came and I explained the entire senario.

After hearing to me they asked me to

registered the case ( FIR) which I did and later,

they blamed me for the accident. I had to

come out on bail terms. they have charged

these sections on me ( 279,337,338,427 and

184). Now the case is in Chiplun court and i

have yet to receive the charge sheet. I met the

second party and suggested a mutual

settlement and yet to receive a response from

them. I had all my documents of the car with

me while traveling and submitted them to local

police on their request.

Now my questions are ?

1. How can I settle with the second party.

2. Police have booked me in the case and

considering me as a party in the fault.

3. How can we settle the case in the court and

how can I prove that I was innocent and still

willing to help the other party.

4. What would be the courts opinion if we

accept the fault as mentioned in the FIR or

shall I defend my self and fight the case.

Request you to please help with the

appropriate solution.

Thanks

lawyer says, chances of getting a just

(Police suggested so even thoughit was not

my fault) . When I filed claim to repair my bike

they(insurance company ) asked me have the

fir translated to malayalam. That is when I

realised it stated I was driving fast reckless

and negligently. Also nowhere was itmentioned that the women were crossong the

road. They claimed the were standing on the

I possibly hit a bike (at a junction at almost 0

speed with clutch control). Probably the

impact was so low, I didnt realize I hit

somebody. Suddenly there were couple of

guys chasing me down the road. I wasnt sure

what was wrong, later I heard them shouting tostop telling me I hit somebody. I still wasnt

sure, so I asked them to get the victim to the

nearby hospital to settle which they never did.

they took a picture of my car from behind and

threatened. I have a learning license (my wife

was sitting at back side and she has valid

permanent license). What kind of case can be

filed against me? What can I do to resolve

this? Thanks in advance.

Sir,

When I was driving my Car and taking turn at

very slow speed, an old lady while trying to

stop his accompanied child coming in front of

my car fell down herself in the roadside open

drainage and got injured seriously. As my car

was involved in this incident, the people

assembled at the spot blamed me for third

party injury. Under humanitarian ground and

compulsion of mob assembled at accidentsite, I provided First-Aid and further Hospital

Treatment to the injured Third Party, bearing

all the expenses amounting more than one

Lakh rupees. Since I have valid Driving License

and my Car covers under comprehensive

Insurance Policy, I approached Insurance




28/38

Company for claiming medical expenses

incurred towards the treatment of Third Party.

On the advice and assurance of Insurance

Company, I filed the claim for reimbursement

of medical expenses of Third Party treatment,

quoting Companys Liability u/s II-1 (i) Subject

to the Limits of Liability as laid down in the

Schedule hereto, the Company will indemnify

the Insured in the event of an accident caused

by or arising out of the vehicle, against all

sums which the Insured shall become legally

liable to pay in respect of: i) death of or bodilyinjury to any person including occupants

carried in the vehicle. However, the Insurance

Company later deceived me in the name of FIR

which was not lodged from either side.

Kindly suggest me, if there is any possible

ways to get claim for reimbursement of

medical expenses of Third Party treatment

from Insurance Company.
