Assessment of Compensation - Courts and tribunals evaluate compensation based on the severity of permanent disability, including loss of income, future medical expenses, and impact on quality of life. The assessment often involves determining the percentage of disability and applying relevant schedules under the Motor Vehicles Act. In some cases, the courts have emphasized that disability should be rated at 100% when applicable, and compensation should reflect this.
