<h1>Insurance Payouts from Mediclaim Not Deductible from Motor Accident Compensation, Says Court; Defends Claimant's Rights</h1> The Bombay High Court ruled that amounts received under a mediclaim policy cannot be deducted from compensation for medical expenses under the Motor Vehicles Act. The court emphasized that such amounts arise from a contract between the claimant and the insurance company, and should not reduce the compensation awarded by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal. The court stated that the tortfeasor should not benefit from the claimant's insurance arrangements. This decision came in response to an appeal by an insurance company claiming that covering medical expenses under both the mediclaim and compensation constituted double compensation.
