An accident claims tribunal in the city has directed an insurance firm to pay ₹22.26 lakh as compensation to the family of an accident victim who was killed by a rashly driven truck near Madipakkam ten years ago.
Parents of D Suresh, Dhamodharan and Visalatchi moved the petition seeking a compensation of ₹35 lakh for the death of their son. A rashly driven truck hit their son’s two-wheeler. In the impact, Suresh fell off the bike and the truck ran over his head, killing him on the spot, according to the petition. The deceased was 25 years at the time of the accident and was working as a driver.
After perusing the submissions and documents, the tribunal held that the accident was due to the rash and negligent driving by the truck driver. Noting the young age of the deceased and that he was the only son of the couple, the tribunal computed various factors including loss of dependency, loss of affection and arrived at a compensation of ₹22.26 lakh.
Of the total amount, the mother and father are entitled to an amount of ₹11.13 lakh each, the tribunal said and directed the insurance firm to deposit the amount within two months.
In another order, the tribunal directed the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC)- Kanchipuram to pay ₹5.57 lakh to a pedestrian who was injured after he was hit by a TNSTC bus near Padappai five years ago.
The petitioner, A Murali who runs an eatery on a push cart was returning home along with his push cart, when a rashly driven government bus hit him from behind. He was 52 years at the time of the accident and because of the injuries he suffered 30% disability according to the regional medical board.
Though the corporation countered that the pedestrian was at fault, the tribunal went by the FIR and other records and held that their bus is responsible for the accident and directed the corporation to pay the compensation.
