Loss of Income & Attendant Fees Recognised in Compensation Assessment | Motor Accident Claim under Sec 166 MVA 1988 : Punjab & Haryana HC

The Punjab & Haryana High Court raised the award for a two-and-a-half-year-old victim, ordering compensation for future loss of earnings and attendant-care fees in addition to interest, thereby expanding the basis for personal injury damages under Section 166. This sets a higher benchmark for claims involving child victims and similar loss-of-income calculations.
