Medical Disability ≠ Loss of Earning Capacity | Functional Assessment Mandatory Under Motor Vehicles Act : Gauhati HC
Gauhati HC rules that compensation for motor accident claims must be based on functional disability-assessing the claimant’s profession, daily limitations, and actual earning impairment-rather than relying solely on medical disability percentages. The judgment underscores the need for independent evaluation of loss of earning capacity under the Motor Vehicles Act.
