Entitlement to Compensation - Claimants are generally entitled to compensation for loss of income, dependency, consortium, love and affection, funeral expenses, and support. The amounts awarded vary based on age, income, and circumstances of the deceased and claimants. For instance, claimants in New Indian Assurance Company Limited, Rajkot VS Umashankar Mannalal Jayswal - Gujarat and Poonja Bhai VS Surjeet Singh - Rajasthan were awarded amounts considering factors like age group (15 multiplier for ages 31-35) and dependency calculations, with interest at 9% p.a.

Calculation of Loss of Consortium and Support - Multiple sources recognize claimants' entitlement to consortium (parental, spousal, or children's) and support. For example, in BHAVNABEN SHAILESHBHAI RANK VS MAHMADMKHAN MAHMADJALLAUDINKHAN PATHAN - Gujarat and Mustt Nasima Khatun W/o Late Anuwar Hussain VS Divisional Manager United India Insurance Co Ltd. - Gauhati, claimants received Rs.40,000 and Rs.15,000-Rs.40,000 respectively for consortium and estate loss, with interest at 6-9% p.a.

Application of Multiplier and Income Assessment - Courts apply age-appropriate multipliers (e.g., 15, 17, 11) and assess income based on the deceased’s age, occupation, and circumstances, including future prospects (typically 40% addition). For example, S. Dhanalakshmi VS E. Mohan - Madras used a multiplier of 17 and considered 25% deduction for claimants, with Rs.6,500/month income, to determine compensation S. Dhanalakshmi VS E. Mohan - Madras.

Interest on Awarded Amounts - Claimants are generally entitled to interest at 9% per annum on awarded sums, with some cases allowing up to 10%. This interest is awarded from the date of petition or accident until realization, as seen in G. Sarojini, W/o. Late Krishna VS Gummidi Appanna, S/o.
