District + High Court matters
Road accidents in Uttar Pradesh are among the most devastating events a family can face — compounded by an insurance system that routinely delays, disputes, and minimises lawful compensation. The Motor Vehicles Act 1988 entitles accident victims to fair compensation through the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT). But the tribunal process requires proper documentation, correct calculation of compensation under structured damages (Sarla Verma formula), and legal representation to counter the insurance company's arguments. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui files MACT claims for death, permanent disability, grievous injury, and loss of income — arguing against insurance companies who are represented by professional legal teams. Without your own lawyer, you will almost always receive less than what you are legally entitled to. Call +91-9911387328.

What Compensation Is Available in MACT Claims
The Motor Vehicles Act and Supreme Court guidelines (Sarla Verma, National Insurance v. Pranay Sethi) provide a structured framework for calculating accident compensation. Victims routinely receive less than entitled because they do not know or claim every head of compensation.
- Loss of dependency — primary head in death cases: income × multiplier × dependants' share
- Loss of earning capacity — for permanent disability cases, based on assessed % disability
- Medical expenses — all treatment costs: hospitalisation, surgery, rehabilitation, prosthetics
- Pain and suffering (non-pecuniary damages) — conventional amount for injury and trauma
- Loss of consortium — for spouse of accident victim (death or permanent disability)
- Funeral and transportation expenses — in fatal accident claims
- Future medical expenses — ongoing treatment, physiotherapy, assistive devices
- Loss of amenities — impact on quality of life, loss of recreational activities
MACT Claim Process — From Filing to Award
A MACT claim is filed before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal having jurisdiction — typically the MACT at the place of accident, the claimant's residence, or the registered office of the vehicle owner. The process follows a specific sequence that requires proper documentation from the very beginning.
- Step 1 — FIR copy, post-mortem / medical records, disability certificate collected immediately
- Step 2 — MACT petition filed with compensation calculation, insurance policy details
- Step 3 — Registered owner and insurance company are notified (served)
- Step 4 — Insurance company files written statement — often denying liability or disputing negligence
- Step 5 — Evidence: accident spot photographs, police chargesheet, medical expert, income documents
- Step 6 — Final arguments and award — MACT award can be appealed to High Court
- Step 7 — Interest runs at 9% from date of claim if insurance company delayed

When Insurance Company Disputes the Claim
Insurance companies routinely raise defences — contributory negligence, policy breach by driver, disputed negligence. A MACT lawyer in Allahabad counters these defences systematically using police records, accident reconstruction, and witness evidence to establish liability.
- Third party insurance is compulsory — insurance company cannot escape third party liability except on limited grounds
- Policy breach defence (drunk driving, no licence) — court can still award and recover from insured
- Contributory negligence — reduces award proportionally but does not eliminate the claim
- Disputed ownership / permit — "pay and recover" principle protects victim against insurance technicalities
- Hit and run cases — Solatium Fund claim available even without identified vehicle
Allahabad High Court Appeal in MACT Cases
If the MACT award is inadequate — too low in amount or wrongly calculated — it can be enhanced on appeal before the Allahabad High Court. Insurance companies also appeal large awards. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui represents both victims seeking enhanced compensation and defends against insurance company appeals seeking reduction.
