一名骑自行车者的家庭在与一名未投保的已故司机撞车后得不到补偿,
A cyclist’s family can’t get compensation after a crash with an uninsured, deceased driver, exposing a gap in India’s road safety policy.
新德里机动车事故索赔法庭发现印度道路事故赔偿体系存在漏洞,一名骑自行车手与一辆无保险车辆发生碰撞身亡,该车辆驾驶者同样遇难。
The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal in New Delhi has identified a gap in India’s road accident compensation system after a cyclist died in a crash with an uninsured vehicle driven by a man who also died.
受害人的家人 -- -- 他的妻子和两个子女 -- -- 无法获得赔偿,因为司机去世后没有房产,车辆没有保险,而且现行办法不适用,因为已查明司机的身份,而不是逃犯。
The victim’s family—his wife and two children—cannot receive compensation because the driver was deceased with no estate, the vehicle had no insurance, and existing schemes don’t apply since the driver was identified, not a fugitive.
法庭称这种情况为“政策真空”,并敦促公路运输和公路部探讨救济方案,指示该部在2月27日前作出回应。
The tribunal called the situation a “policy vacuum” and urged the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to explore relief options, directing the ministry to respond by February 27.
