Time limitation to file Compensation claim for Accidental Death


27-Oct-2023 (In Motor Accident Law)
Dear Sir, My father was a regular TAX payer. He has passed away in 2009 in a road accident. We were not able to file the compensation claim that time due to some personal reasons. Is it possible to file that claim now? Please advice me. Regards

Did you lodge a FIR in the matter after his accident? If not, it will be a bit difficult to file a MACT claim petition. However, if you justify the delay, the claim can still be maintainable and that way you stand a chance.

you can file the Motor accident claim at any time as there is no limitation for filing the motor accident claim in the Motor Vehicle act as various case laws are in favor of the limitation clause. Among which one is "Vimla Devi v/s Majeed Mistri, 1(2003) ACC 127 Raj."
