Motor Accident Compensation | Minimum Wage as Default Income Baseline for Unskilled Deceased Without Proof : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that in the absence of income documentation, the minimum wage for unskilled labor must serve as the baseline for calculating compensation in motor accident claims. This sets a nationally relevant precedent for claimants from informal sectors, ensuring fairer outcomes for families of deceased earners with no formal records, while mandating structured payments with 7% interest to prevent delayed justice.
