Overview
A claim is not a charity — it is a calculation. Our team prepares MACT petitions backed by income proof, multiplier method computation, and Supreme Court precedent to maximise just compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
We act for accident victims, dependants and insurers. On the claimant side, we ensure no head of damages is overlooked — loss of dependency, loss of consortium, loss of love and affection, loss of estate, funeral expenses, future medical treatment, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering. On the insurer side, we audit claims for fraud markers and structure settlements that resolve genuine claims without overcompensating exaggerated ones.
Our MACT practice operates across Delhi NCR — claims tribunals at Patiala House, Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, Saket and Rohini Court Complexes — with a steady stream of fatal, grievous and hit-and-run matters.
Claims We Handle
- Fatal accidents — dependency, loss of consortium, funeral & love-affection
- Grievous injury — disability, future treatment, loss of earning capacity
- Hit-and-run cases under Section 161 of the MV Act and the Solatium Scheme

- Workmen Compensation parallel claims
Documentary Process

- Income & dependency evidence (ITR, salary slips, business records)
- Disability certificate & doctor's deposition
- Final argument & decree execution against insurer
- Interim compensation under Section 140 (no-fault liability)
Multiplier Method — How Compensation is Calculated
The Supreme Court's framework in Sarla Verma v. DTC (2009), refined in Reshma Kumari (2013), Pranay Sethi (2017) and subsequent rulings, governs compensation calculation. The deceased's income (with future prospects), age multiplier (16-15-14 etc.), personal expense deduction (1/3 to 1/4), and additional heads (consortium, love & affection, funeral) make up the compensation. We compute claims at filing, not at hearing — ensuring claims are pleaded at correct value.
Insurer Pay-and-Recover
Section 149 of the MV Act creates statutory liability of insurers to satisfy decrees against insureds, with limited defences. The 'pay and recover' mechanism allows tribunals to order insurer to pay compensation while reserving the right to recover from the owner/driver where statutory defences apply (drunk driving, no licence). We have extensive experience on both sides of this mechanism.
