Motor Accident Claims
How Legal Sathi helps
Under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the victims of a road accident — or the legal heirs of a person who died in one — can claim compensation from the owner and insurer of the offending vehicle. Claims are heard by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT).
Compensation in a death case is calculated from the deceased's age, income and dependants, plus amounts for loss of consortium, funeral expenses and loss of estate. In injury cases it covers medical expenses, loss of earnings, pain and suffering, and permanent disability.
Legal Sathi handles the complete process — from collecting the FIR and post-mortem report to filing the claim petition, appearing at every hearing, negotiating with the insurance company and ensuring the award amount reaches the right bank account.

FAQ
Motor Accident Claims — frequently asked questions
Who can file a motor accident death claim?
The legal representatives of the deceased — spouse, children, parents and other dependants — can file the claim. We help identify all eligible claimants so that no one is left out.
What is the time limit to file a MACT claim?
Under the amended Motor Vehicles Act the claim should be filed within six months of the accident. If you are close to or beyond this period, contact us immediately so we can advise on the next step.
What if the vehicle was not insured or it was hit-and-run?
For hit-and-run accidents, compensation is available under the Solatium Scheme. For uninsured vehicles, the claim lies against the owner and driver. We guide you through both.
How much compensation will I get?
It depends on age, income, number of dependants and the nature of injury. After reviewing your documents we give you a fair estimate based on the formula courts follow.
