Motor Accident Compensation | Liberal Assessment of Non-Pecuniary Damages Permissible Without Medical Bills Under MV Act : Andhra Pradesh HC

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.
