Re: Accidental Compensation Law
It all depends whether the driver of the scooter was holding the valid & effective driving license at the the time of accident. The insurnace policy was in force/active at the time of accident. Whether the insurance company has charged the premium for the pilion rider. If the answer to all the questions is YES then the insurance company will pay else the owner of the scooter will pay. Whatever the claimants will be compensated.
