Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and Compensation : Supreme Court Enhances the Compensation Amount to Victim of Road Accident
It has been held that "though the physical disability may be assessed at a particular percentage, the functional disability affecting earning capacity may, depending upon the nature of avocation carried on by the injured, be assessed at a higher percentage including 100%. The assessment of compensation in cases of permanent disability cannot be undertaken by mechanically applying the percentage of physical disability as the percentage of economic loss."
