Air crash: Unhappy kin may not accept pay off

Mangalore: The Mangalore Air Crash Victims Family Association has resented compensation being paid to victims as in the case of motor vehicle accidents based on the income of the deceased.
This was expressed during the meeting of the association held at Kasargod recently. Thirty four of the victims' kin were present at the meeting. The members decided to attend the meeting called by the legal solicitors of Air India at Mumbai, but reserved the decision to accept the compensation amount. They will study the parameters adopted to give the compensation and have decided not to accept it, if it is lower than their expectations. If many find the compensation amount unacceptable, they will decide on engaging a foreign law firm, who are well versed with such matters, to get higher compensation through mediation with insurance companies.
