DEAR VIEWERS,
A seven year old minor girl was injured in a car accident while she was crossing the road with her parents and brother. The girl became mentally challenged due to the injuries sustained in the accident. The Delhi court directed United India Insurance Company to pay Rs 5,90,750 to the girl.
Manzoor Ahmad Simon, a resident of Greater Kailash was driving his Tata Safari at a reckless speed when his car hit the minor girl. The car was insured by United India Insurance Company Ltd.
Judge Swarana Kanta, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) stated that it is a very sad case where the child who was only 7 years of age at the time of the accident suffered mental retardation due to the injuries.
The girl suffered 75% permanent disability which is unlikely to improve. The condition has made her dependent on the entire family. The judge said, “The child has suffered mental retardation which has affected her prospect of marriage. She has also become a case of apathy and has lost interest in most of things.”
According to the girl’s father “No amount of compensation can compensate the loss of childhood and youth that the girl has suffered at this age.”
