2022 BMW Accident: Delhi Tribunal Awards Over Rs 28 Lakh Compensation
A man named Ranjan Kumar sadly passed away after being hit by a speeding BMW car in Delhi back in July 2022.
The car was being repaired at a workshop and an employee took it for a drive without permission.
A special court in Delhi looked at the case and decided that the accident happened because the driver was not being careful.
Because Ranjan Kumar was the only one earning money for his family, the court ordered the car's owner and the driver to pay his family over 28 lakh rupees.
This money is to help his wife, mother, son, and two daughters.
The court said this was fair because the family depended on him for everything.
The final decision was made on October 16.
A Delhi tribunal awarded Rs 28.77 lakh compensation to the family of Ranjan Kumar, who died in a BMW accident.
The victim was hit by a speeding BMW on July 10, 2022, near Lala Lajpat Rai Marg in Delhi.
The tribunal ruled the accident was caused by rash and negligent driving by an unauthorized employee of an automobile workshop.
The car was uninsured, making both the owner and driver jointly liable for the compensation.
