A young boy crippled by a state-run bus will receive a compensation of 37 lakh after a Motor Accident Claim Tribunal ruled in his favor.

In a heart-wrenching incident, a nine-year-old boy who allegedly suffered permanent disability after being hit by a state-run bus in 2019, will be compensated with 37 lakh by the Motor Accident Claim Tribunal in Maharashtra's Latur, according to reports. The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) and the driver have been ordered to pay the hefty amount as compensation.

The boy, who was just 7 years old at the time of the accident, was reportedly crossing the road when the bus hit him. He sustained injuries to his head and hand and had to undergo multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitation.

The tribunal accepted the boy's contention that he had sustained permanent disability and directed the MSRTC and the driver to compensate for his medical expenses, pain, and suffering.

This ruling has brought hope to many victims of accidents caused by state-run vehicles. Victims now have the chance to receive justice and compensation for their pain and suffering.

The tribunal's ruling has ensured that the young boy's life will be much more comfortable, and he will have the means to seek the medical attention he requires without incurring undue financial strain.
