Thane MACT Awards ₹14.81 Lakh for 2011 Jeep Crash
A long time ago, in 2011, a young woman named Usha was in a jeep that crashed.
The driver was going too fast and lost control, making the jeep fall into a valley.
Usha got very hurt and sadly died.
Recently, a court decided that the driver was responsible and said the insurance company should pay her family ₹14.81 lakh.
The family will get this money, and the insurance company can later ask the jeep owner to pay them back.
The court also said the family should get extra money because it took so long to get this decision.
The Thane MACT awarded ₹14.81 lakh to the family of a woman who died in a 2011 jeep accident in Mokhada.
The driver was held solely responsible for the crash due to rash and negligent driving.
The accident occurred on June 23, 2011, when the jeep plunged nearly 200 feet into a valley.
The tribunal rejected the insurer's claims that the vehicle's policy conditions were breached.
The compensation includes 7% annual interest from the date of the claim petition until realization.
