The High Court of Karnataka has stated that compensation claims in road accidents do not need to be proved like criminal trials. The court dismissed an appeal by an insurance company challenging the compensation awarded to the family of an accident victim. The court emphasized that claimants do not have to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt, but rather on the basis of preponderance of probabilities. The court also upheld the compensation awarded by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal and rejected the appeal for enhancement.
