Dear sir,
I'm G.V.Sathishkumar from Thiruvarur District,
Tamilnadu. My brother-in-law (38Yrs old) is a bus conductor in Tamilnadu state transport Corporation(TNSTC). His service is 3 years.
Six months before when he was traveling in a bus as a duty conductor, their bus driver carelessly drive the bus and tried to overtake and hit right back side of a private lorry. In that accident left front side of the Bus damaged,one female passenger killed, my brother in law(Bus conductor)'s left hand was cutted, left thigh bone fractured, left eye also got injured.
After that police Case filed against that bus driver by the lorry driver(Bus driver was suspended for three months by TNSTC). My brother in law took treatment at Chennai in a Private Hospital. For his treatment we spent more than Rs 3,00,000(Rupees three lakhs). In this Government group (Star) health insurance company’s contribution is Rs 1,10,000(Rupees ten thousand deducted for tax)(Sum assured is Rs.Two lakhs). Artificial hand has to be fixed
The TNSTC did not gave any compensation except the Star group insurance claim. They have grant three months sick leave with salary for three months only. After that one month leave on loss of pay. From April-2011 he is going to duty by requesting the TNSTC GM in every month. His job has not been regularized.
He have to take care of his mother,wife and two small children. Now he is having unsecured feeling about Job and life and suffering also from Diabetes due to depression and worries.
Please guide us what actions we have to take legally? Can we file a case against TNSTC? If so, what about his job? Can we file a case against Lorry?
Thanking you,
Yours truly,
G.V.Sathishkumar

Expert Ajay is correct. A Claim for the loss of hand in the MV Accident is also made out and it is different from the departmental liabilities which the TNSTC have fulfilled.

Your brother in law can claim compensation from TNSTC under Workman Compensation Act as he was performing his employment when he was suffered with such accident so transport company is only liable to compensate him fully. File a case immediately with all record.
