Hiral Murugan

Profile description

Imagine you were involved in a road accident and received a compensation award that does not reflect the full extent of your injuries. You may wonder whether the decision can be appealed and what options exist to secure a fair settlement. Hiral Murugan provides the expertise needed to challenge motor accident compensation awards and obtain the justice you deserve.

Hiral Murugan focuses on Motor Accident Compensation Appeals and has a deep understanding of the procedural nuances of the Punjab and Haryana High Court as well as the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer regularly assists individuals and families who have been dissatisfied with the assessment of loss, medical expenses, or loss of earning capacity under the Motor Vehicles Act. By examining the original award, the lawyer identifies gaps, miscalculations, or ignored medical evidence that can form the basis of an appeal.

The lawyer’s approach begins with a comprehensive case audit. This includes gathering accident reports, medical certificates, salary slips, and expert opinions. After a meticulous analysis, the lawyer prepares a well‑structured petition that highlights why the original compensation fails to meet statutory entitlements. The lawyer files the appeal before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, invoking Section 26 of the Motor Vehicles Act and presenting fresh evidence where permissible.

When the High Court’s judgment does not meet expectations, Hiral Murugan can take the case to the Supreme Court of India. The lawyer prepares a special leave petition that emphasizes significant questions of law, such as the interpretation of “reasonable compensation” and the proper valuation of future losses. In several landmark appeals, the lawyer has secured upward revisions that reflected the true impact of severe injuries on the claimant’s life.

Clients appreciate the lawyer’s transparent communication throughout the appeal process. The lawyer explains the timeline for filing, the likelihood of success, and the steps necessary to reinforce the claim, such as obtaining independent medical assessments. By keeping claimants informed, the lawyer demystifies the appellate system and reduces the stress that often accompanies prolonged litigation.

Success stories include cases where the lawyer overturned low compensation awards for spinal injury victims, securing multi‑crore settlements that covered long‑term rehabilitation costs. In another instance, the lawyer helped a motorist obtain compensation for loss of livelihood after a head‑on collision, arguing convincingly before the High Court that the original award ignored the claimant’s specialized skill set.

If you have received a motor accident compensation award that feels inadequate, Hiral Murugan can help you assess the merits of an appeal, prepare a compelling petition, and navigate the procedural requirements of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India. With a proven record of securing higher compensation, the lawyer brings both legal acumen and compassionate support to every case.
