Whether an accident victim is entitled to get compensation for functional disability? If so, what is the method for computation of compensation?
According to Supreme Court order 2014 under case G. Dhanashekar v. M.D. Metropolitan Transport Corporation Limited,
As far as compensation for functional disability is concerned, it has to be borne in mind that the principle cannot be uniformly applied. It would depend on the impact caused by the injury on the victim’s profession/career. To what extent the career of the victim has been affected, thereby his regular income is reduced or dried up will depend on the facts and circumstances of each case. There may be even situations where the physical disability does not involve any functional disability at all.
