Hello, 

 

I agree with the suggestion of Mr. Kishan Dutt. 

 

Also, in addition to that, I would suggest you to file representations against all such authorities and seek compensation. If they do not reply, you can file a writ against them for faulty work which can have serious consequences of loss of lives.

Dear Sir,

           Claim before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT)

 

Basis of Claim: Although MACT primarily deals with accidents involving a motor vehicle and an insurance claim, in recent judgments, it is increasingly seen as a forum for accidents caused by poor road conditions, especially if the victim's vehicle was involved.

The Argument: The accident occurred due to the negligence of the authorities responsible for the road/underpass maintenance (Railway, PWD, Municipal Corporation).

Process: A claim petition would be filed seeking compensation. Your legal counsel will need to meticulously argue the negligence of the named authorities as the direct cause of the accident.
