Filing Compensation And Writ

Summary

A Motor Vehicle Act compensation application is typically filed with the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT). In exceptional cases, a writ petition in the High Court may be possible if there is a violation of fundamental rights, such as Article 21, which ensures the right to life. The Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, may also apply if hazardous substances are involved. To hold the state liable, consider negligence, duty of care, and relevant statutes like the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and state-specific traffic regulations. A Writ of Mandamus can compel the state to perform its duty if negligence is proven. Consult local laws for specific guidance in Andhra Pradesh.
