Overview
About our motor accident & rent control practice
An accident victim or a wronged landlord deserves every rupee the law entitles them to. We make sure the law delivers.
Motor Accidents Claims Petitions (MCOP) and Rent Control Original Petitions (RCOP) are two of the most common legal proceedings in Tamil Nadu's subordinate courts. Both require specialists who understand the specific procedural and evidentiary requirements of these forums — and who can maximize outcomes for their clients in each.
At AGD Law Associates, our MCOP practice focuses on securing maximum compensation for accident victims and their families — by meticulously calculating and arguing loss of income, future earnings, medical expenses, and non-pecuniary damages. Our rent control practice covers eviction proceedings, fair rent fixation, and tenant-landlord disputes across Tamil Nadu's Rent Control Act framework.

Case Highlights
Results that matter
₹18L Disability Claim
Permanent Disability — Road Accident
Obtained ₹18 lakh for a client with 65% permanent disability from a two-vehicle collision, claiming loss of future earning capacity.
Eviction Granted
Owner Occupation Eviction
Successfully evicted a commercial tenant after establishing bona fide need for personal occupation, obtaining possession within 14 months of filing.
Compensation is calculated under several heads: loss of income (annual income × multiplier based on age), medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of consortium (for family members), funeral expenses, and loss of estate. The multiplier method is used for fatal and permanent disability claims.
Under the Motor Vehicles Act 1988, the claim petition must be filed within 6 months of the date of accident. However, courts can condone delay on showing sufficient cause. Contact us immediately after an accident to preserve your rights.
Grounds include: wilful default in rent payment, sub-letting without permission, misuse of premises, causing nuisance, structural damage, and bona fide personal need of the owner. Each ground requires specific proof before the Rent Controller.
Tenants have the right to appeal the Rent Controller's order before the Appellate Authority and then the Madras High Court. However, once all appeals are exhausted, the court can order forcible possession through execution proceedings.
