Doctor gets Rs 12.29 Lakh compensation for injuries in accident

The trailer's insurer opposed the claim, saying he was riding the motorcycle in a rash and negligent manner due to which he lost control over the wheels and his vehicle dashed against the trailer which was moving at moderate speed.

The insurance firm further said no permanent disability was established on record by the claimant.

After hearing both the sides, judge Bisht said Mansuri claimed permanent partial disability to the extent of 62 per cent. "But there is no scientific evidence to satisfy the conscience of the tribunal in the absence of evidence of a medical officer for it," he said.

But, it is clear from the claimant's evidence that he took treatment at different hospitals for his grievous injuries, the judge said while awarding him Rs 12.29 lakh compensation towards medical expenses, loss of income, pain and sufferings and other costs incurred by him.
