Our staff will file the claim or petition in MACT on your behalf. MACT is a type of small court that is specially formed to resolve cases related to accidents. Because this is the initial step in obtaining compensation, every detail must be correct. The claimant submits details regarding the accident, injuries sustained, and the compensation amount desired.
The MACT forwarded the notification to the opposing party after receiving the petition. This party includes the insurer, the driver, and the insurance company. This notice provides all of the information and claims indicated in the petition by the claimant. The date of the hearing is also specified in this notice, which allows the insurer to submit their point of view and evidence.
The police have already enquired about the location in the case of an accident. The police must create a DAR, or Detailed Accident Record, in this case. It comprises all of the micro information that may be used to better understand the incidents and issues. Apart from this DAR, additional evidence such as medical records, eyewitnesses, and several other kinds of evidence may be included in MACT.
The MACT examines the claims and evidence once the legal arguments and facts are presented. Before making a conclusion, the MACT extensively investigates each case.
If the insurer is found guilty, the MACT judgments are in favour of the claimant. In this decision, the authority instructs the insurer to compensate the claimant within 30 days by granting an agreed-upon amount (as specified by the MACT).
