Dear sirs,
One person was riding his own bike. Unexpectedly a dog suddenly crossed the road and he could not control the vehicle. He pull down the road and sustained multiple grievous injuries. The Insurance Policy is package policy. F.I.R has been registered against him. Can he claim any compensation before the Accident Claim Tribunal? Whether the Insurance company is liable nor not?

1. This kind of accident does not attract the provision of Motor Vehicle Act. Accident insurance policy may provide for compensation. The vehicle insurance policy comes in operation only in case of accident involving motor vehicle(s)and possibly death of a third person.
