Motor Accident Claim Tribunals
What is the Motor Accident Claim Tribunals?
Motor Accident Claim Tribunals (MACT) are specialized legal entities established under the Motor Vehicles Act, aimed at swiftly resolving disputes arising from motor vehicle accidents. These tribunals hold jurisdiction over cases involving injuries, fatalities, or property damage caused by road accidents. Their primary focus is to adjudicate claims for compensation filed by victims or their families, offering a dedicated platform to seek redressal for losses incurred due to such unfortunate incidents.
​
Operating under the principle of 'no-fault liability,' MACT prioritizes the compensation of victims over determining fault. This means that compensation can be awarded irrespective of who caused the accident, emphasizing the need to alleviate the suffering of those affected by road mishaps. The intent is to ensure that individuals facing injuries, disabilities, or bereavement due to accidents receive timely financial support without prolonged legal battles regarding liability.
​
MACTs aim for expeditious resolution, acknowledging the urgency in providing justice and relief to accident victims or their dependents. These tribunals consider various factors when determining compensation, including the severity of injuries, medical expenses, loss of income, and the impact of the accident on the victim's life, thus tailoring compensation to the specific circumstances of each case.
​
While MACT decisions are binding, they allow for appeals in higher courts if disputing parties seek further legal review or clarification. Overall, MACTs play a pivotal role in facilitating accessible and timely justice, offering a specialized avenue for resolving motor vehicle accident claims and aiding in the fair and efficient dispensation of compensation to those affected.
