My father was involved in an accident with a government bus in 2010. The case is nearing its end, and we were expecting to receive compensation for my mother, myself, and my grandmother. Sadly, my grandmother passed away from a heart attack two days ago. The money is expected to arrive in July. How will this affect the compensation for my grandmother?

Under Indian law, the right to compensation for personal injuries dies with the victim. Since your grandmother passed away before receiving compensation, her share of the claim will likely be revoked. The compensation will be distributed between you and your mother based on your individual claims.
