Thane MACT Awards Rs 42 Lakh in 2019 Road Accident Case
Imagine a man named Sanjay Tode, who worked as a supervisor, was riding his motorcycle and was hit by a truck in 2019, sadly passing away.
A court in Thane looked into what happened and decided his family should get about Rs 42 lakh to help them.
The court agreed the truck driver was careless.
The insurance company has to pay, but because the driver broke the rules of his policy, the insurance company can try to get the money back from the truck's owner.
Thane MACT awarded Rs 42.27 lakh to the family of Sanjay Wilson Tode.
Tode, a supervisor, died in a 2019 road accident.
The accident occurred on Ghodbunder Road when a truck hit his motorcycle.
The court found the truck driver was driving rashly and negligently.
The insurer can recover the amount from the owner due to policy breach.
