Law Dictionary Home Dictionary Definition arising-out-of-accident

Arising out of accident, indicates that for the purpose of awarding compensation, the casual relationship between the use of the motor vehicle and the accident resulting in death or permanent disablement is not required to be direct and proximate and it can be less immediate. This would imply the accident should be connected with the use of the motor vehicle but the said connection need not be direct and immediate, Rita Devi v. New India Assurance Company Ltd., (2000) 5 SCC 113.
