Section 168 MV Act | Bombay HC Mandates 16 Multiplier, 50% Future Prospects & Loss of Consortium for 33-Year-Old Deceased Driver : BHC

Bombay HC sets precedent for motor accident compensation by applying a 16 multiplier for a 33-year-old victim, rejecting 1/3rd personal expense deduction, and mandating 50% future prospects for salaried employees. The ruling also reinforces loss of consortium and funeral expenses as mandatory components, enhancing compensation for dependents under the MV Act.
