Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the time limit for filing a motor accident claim?
A: There is no strict limitation period for MACT claims, but the petition should be filed within a reasonable time. Delay must be explained. For own damage claims with insurance companies, the limitation is typically 3 years.
Q: Can I claim compensation if I was driving the vehicle?
A: Yes, if you were injured due to the negligence of another driver. If you were solely responsible, you may not claim against others but can claim under your own insurance policy (personal accident cover).
Q: How is the compensation amount calculated for death cases?
A: Based on the deceased's income, age, number of dependents, and conventional heads using the multiplier method prescribed by the Supreme Court in the Sarla Verma case (2009) and National Insurance Co. vs Pranay Sethi (2017).
Q: Do I need a lawyer to file a MACT claim?
A: While not mandatory, a lawyer experienced in MACT claims can significantly help in calculating the correct compensation, gathering evidence, and representing you effectively before the Tribunal.
