Due to enormous increase in the number of accidents with the advent of railways, a need for compensating the dependents of the accident victims was felt and that led to the enactment of the Fatal Accidents Act, 1846, which is also known as Lord Campbell's Act. The Act enabled certain dependents of the deceased to claim compensation for the loss arising to the dependents from such death. Dr. R.K.Bangia, Law Of Torts (22nd Edition,2010, Allahabad Law Agency), p.479
