Claiming the Compensation You Deserve After a Motor Accident

Motor Accident Claims Tribunals

•         Legal heirs and dependants of deceased accident victims

•         Third parties injured by negligent driving

Compensation Available

Under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, compensation claims cover:

•         Medical expenses and hospitalisation costs

•         Loss of earnings and future earning capacity

•         Permanent disability compensation

•         Pain, suffering, and loss of amenities

•         Loss of consortium (for surviving family members)

•         Funeral expenses in fatal accident cases

Insurance Disputes in MACT Cases

Insurance companies frequently raise objections to MACT claims on grounds such as policy violations, licence defects, or disputed liability. Pramod Kumar Bhardwaj ADR represents claimants against insurer objections and ensures that valid claims are pursued to their full and fair conclusion.
