Similarly for medical expenses in the head of physiotherapy required to the claimant, the Tribunal awarded Rs. 2,88,000/- @ Rs. 50 per day. The High Court granted lumpsum amount of Rs. 8,00,000/- including the expenses for diapers. In our considered opinion, the said amount is not adequate. In these days the physiotherapist would charge at least Rs. 150/- per day to treat the patient for one hour which monthly comes to Rs. 4,500/- and annually 54,000/-, applying the multiplier of 18, the amount in the head of physiotherapy charges comes to Rs. 9,72,000/-. For the purpose of use of diapers, regular medical check-up and medical expenses if we further add Rs. 2,00,000/- then in the head of future medical expenses the amount comes to Rs. 11,72,000/-. {Para 19}
