A road accident is a traumatic event that often produces lasting financial as well as physical and emotional consequences.
A road accident is a traumatic event that often produces lasting financial as well as physical and emotional consequences. The Motor Vehicles Act provides for compensation, but insurers regularly deploy experienced legal teams to minimise payouts. The chambers level the playing field, ensuring victims and their dependants secure the compensation they are entitled to before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal.
MATTERS WE HANDLE
Scope of the brief.
Fatal Accidents
Comprehensive compensation for the dependants of a deceased victim based on loss of dependency.
Grievous Injury
Claims covering medical expenses, loss of future income and compensation for permanent disability.
Hit & Run Cases
Navigating claims involving untraced vehicles, including compensation under the Solatium scheme.
Third-Party Defence
Defending vehicle owners against inflated or fraudulent third-party claims, in coordination with insurers.
METHOD
Strategic approach.
Tribunal practice rests on precise calculation of pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages. The chambers work alongside medical experts and actuaries to establish the true quantum of loss; in court, cross-examination of insurer-appointed investigators and careful use of the police Detailed Accident Report are central to establishing liability.
NOTE
“Recovery is the priority of the family — pursuing rightful compensation against insurers is the work of the chambers.”
