#attendant charges

The Allahabad HC held quadriplegia warrants 100% functional disability despite 70% medical certification, granted 50% future prospects under Rule 220A, allowed multiplier-based attendant charges, and awarded past medical expenses conservatively despite missing bills, nearly doubling the MACT award for a 22-year-old conductor.

Andhra Pradesh High Court rules that compensation for pain, suffering, attendant charges, and medical expenses under the Motor Vehicles Act cannot be denied merely due to lack of medical bills if grievous injuries are medically proven. The Court enhanced compensation from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 1.5 lakh, reinforcing a victim-centric approach in tort law for accident claims.

Chhattisgarh High Court enhances motor accident compensation by mandating minimum wage-based income calculation and adding special diet and attendant charges where disability is permanent.
