Motor Accident Claims
Compensation claims before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunals for victims and their families.
A road accident can change a family's life in an instant. We act for victims and their families in compensation claims before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunals, and we pursue the maximum compensation the law allows.
Our work covers claims for death, permanent disability, partial disability, and grievous injury arising from road accidents. We act against the insurer of the offending vehicle and, where the vehicle is uninsured or the driver is untraceable, under the hit-and-run provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act and the Solatium Fund. We advise on the documents required to support a claim, on the calculation of compensation under the structured formula in Sarla Verma and the subsequent decisions of the Supreme Court, and on the steps to take where the insurer disputes liability.
Where the Tribunal's award is inadequate we file appeals before the High Court of Andhra Pradesh, and where the insurer appeals against an award we defend it. These cases are decided on the evidence of income, age, and dependency, and we prepare them on that footing.
