#future prospects compensation

Punjab & Haryana HC ruled that motor accident compensation must be based on credible evidence, rejecting a ration card as valid age proof and mandating realistic income assessment. The court enhanced compensation to Rs. 17.59 lakh for the parents of a deceased 19-year-old, reducing the personal expense deduction to 40% due to filial obligations, setting a precedent for evidentiary standards in claims.

The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that compensation for homemakers in motor accident claims must account for the economic value of household services, including future prospects, without deducting personal expenses. This sets a precedent for fairer compensation calculations nationwide, impacting all motor accident claims involving homemakers.
