Loss of Career Prospects Due to Injury | 20% Disability Justifies Rs.2.5 Lakh Compensation Under MV Act: Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has ruled that a student denied medical admission due to a 20% disability from a motor accident is entitled to Rs.2.5 lakh in compensation for lost career prospects, affirming that future earning potential must be valued independently of medical costs. This sets a critical precedent for claimants in accident cases where injuries derail professional aspirations, especially in highly competitive fields like medicine.
