My brother-in-law, 35 years old, was tragically killed by a motorcycle rider in Chennai last month while walking near his home. He worked at Technico Industries, earning around ₹50,000 per month. He left behind his wife and two young sons, aged 2 and 6. I understand that his wife is planning to move to Delhi with me soon. What compensation can she claim from the rider and his insurance company? Can we initiate or transfer the claim case to Delhi? How long would it take to receive the compensation amount? Any guidance on navigating this difficult situation would be greatly appreciated.

Your sister-in-law can claim compensation from the motorcycle rider and his insurance company under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The compensation amount will depend on factors like age, income, and the nature of the accident. While the claim can be initiated in Chennai, it can be transferred to Delhi if your sister-in-law moves there. However, the time it takes to receive compensation varies depending on the insurance company and legal processes involved.
