Tribunal Awards 20.45 Lakh to Man for 64% Disability
A man named Rohit was in a car accident in 2011 and got badly hurt.
He was left with a 64% permanent disability.
A court in Maharashtra decided he should get about 20.45 lakh rupees to help pay for his hospital bills, lost wages, and pain.
The court said the insurance company and the car owner must pay this money together.
The truck that was hit was not at fault, so the truck owner was not sued.
Tribunal awarded Rs 20.45 lakh to Rohit Vishnu Pardeshi for 64% permanent partial disability from a 2011 accident.
Accident involved a car driven by a minor without a licence colliding with a stationary truck in Palghar district.
Compensation includes Rs 6.49 lakh for hospital bills, Rs 11.10 lakh for loss of income during treatment, and Rs 50,000 for pain and suffering.
Tribunal ordered New India Insurance Company Ltd and car owner Uttam Ramesh Pimple to jointly pay the amount and recover from the owner.
Claim against the truck and its insurer was dismissed as the truck driver was not negligent.
