Tribunal awards ₹2.92 crore to man with 88% disability, dismisses helmet-related defense
A Delhi-based tribunal has granted compensation exceeding ₹2.92 crore to 32-year-old marketing professional Nilmani Chauhan. Chauhan sustained an 88% permanent disability following a 2020 collision where a car struck his two-wheeler. The tribunal turned down the insurance company's argument that Chauhan was partially at fault for not wearing a helmet, ruling that a traffic rule violation does not qualify as contributory negligence without proof that it directly caused the crash.
