ICS06 - Motor Insurance (Surveyor) Mock Test 08

Motor accident compensation involves several statutory principles, including future prospects, notional income, multipliers and liability provisions. Future prospects may vary according to age and employment status, particularly for self-employed persons. In cases involving the death of a minor child, compensation may be calculated using notional income and an appropriate multiplier. False declarations such as incorrect NCB claims can result in recovery or policy consequences. The Motor Vehicles Act requires compulsory third-party insurance and vehicle registration. Important judicial decisions, such as National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Swaran Singh, address insurer liability where policy conditions are breached. Surveyors should understand charge-sheets, multipliers and compensation calculations.
