AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION
AWARDE BY COURTS IN CASE OF DEATH OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE IN MOTOR VEHICLE
ACCIDENT.
There are various citations with
regard to payment of compensation amount to government employees in a motor
vehicle accident which recommands to award compensation as follows:
Suppose the deceased was aged 50 years at the
time of accident, employed as sub inspector of police. His gross income was Rs.11,101/ per month and also marked salary certificate.
Since he was aged 50 years, he is entitled to 15% enhancement towards future
prospects, (Rs.11,101+1,665) = Rs.12,766/, since there were 6 dependents in
this case, ¼ of his income has been deducted for his personal expenses.
Appropriate multiplier relevant to this case is 13.
Loss of
income is 12766x12x13x ¾ = Rs. 14,93,622/
Loss of consortium (wife) = Rs.
40,000/
Los of love & affection to 4
children= Rs. 10,000/
Loss of Estate = Rs.
15,000/
Transport = Rs.
6,183/
Funeral
expenses =
Rs. 15,000/

Total
= Rs. 15,79,805/

Normally courts award compensation in
this basis in death of government employee. They also order to pay the cost of
the litigation and interest for the award amount from the date of petition till
deposit at the rate of 7.5% pa. If the deceased was hospitalized before death
and incurred medical expenses, that also will be awarded. This is the way in
which the courts award compensation in death cases.
