Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT)

Motor Accident Claims Tribunals deal with claims relating to loss of life/property and injury cases resulting from motor accidents. The claims are to be directly filed in the concerned tribunal. MACT courts are presided over by judicial officers from the State Higher Judicial Service. These courts are under direct supervision of the high courts. The following documents should accompany the petition that needs to be filed: a) Copy of the FIR registered in connection

with said accident, if any b) Copy of the medico-legal case (MLC)/postmortem report/death report, as the case may be c) The documents of the identity of the claimants and of the deceased in a death case d) Original bills of expenses incurred on the

treatment, along with treatment record e) Documents of the educational qualifications

of the deceased, if any f) Disability certificate, if already obtained, in

an injury case

g) Proof of income of the deceased/injured

h) Documents about the age of the victim i) The cover note of the third-party insurance policy (cover note is no more in vogue; this could mean the copy of the policy issued) j) An affidavit detailing the relationship of

the claimants with the deceased
