Motor Vehicles Act Section 166 | Nominal Medical Expenses Awarded Without Bills, Disability Compensation Revised for 33% Functional Loss : Karnataka HC
The Karnataka High Court awarded Rs. 10,000 for medical expenses despite no supporting bills and increased loss of amenities to Rs. 30,000 for a 33% functional disability, affirming that equitable compensation must account for real suffering even when documentation is lacking. This sets a critical precedent for claimants in rural or low-income settings where medical records are often unobtainable.
