Independent injury claim for auto rickshaw driver in Nashik accident.


25-Oct-2026 (In Motor Accident Law)
Dear Advocate, I am an auto rickshaw driver. On 22nd July 2026, a speeding car hit my goods transport rickshaw from behind in Nashik. A laborer inside my vehicle tragically died in this accident, and his family is filing a separate claim. However, I was also severely injured. I suffered 4 rib fractures and was hospitalized for 7 days, with a medical bill of Rs. 35,000. I have now collected all necessary documents, including the FIR, discharge summary, and bills. Can I file my own independent personal injury compensation claim against the car's insurance company in MACT? Please guide me on the immediate next steps to file this case. Thank you. Respected Sir, based on the details of my case—specifically the 4 rib fractures, 7 days of hospitalization, Rs. 35,000 medical bills, and the subsequent loss of my driving income—could you please evaluate and let me know approximately how much total compensation amount can be realistically claimed and expected to be sanctioned by the MACT court"

Yes, you can file an independent personal injury claim in MACT against the car's insurer. You can realistically expect ₹1.5L to ₹3L covering your ₹35k medicals, income loss, and pain as per the concerned provisions of law.
