Hi All,
Recently I've met with an accident in the middle of January, it was a Malaysian Construction Lorry that hit me down.
Now I've undergone major operation that afixed some metal into my left leg... And there's going to be another to remove them some time later.
The hospital bills are going to exceed $2k now and after much consideration, I've decided to seek advice from law firm.
Now I just want to ask and see around here, how many of you have gone through the same thing before or heard of friends and/or relatives that filed lawsuit against Malaysian drivers and succeeded ???
Thank You
I know of people who got compensation after they got injured in an accident.
Singaporean or Malaysian I don't know though. But you shall always try.
Have not experience but just want to add that you do not necc have to sue the driver coz you might be able to sue his company under the principle of vicarious liability. He probably is very poor anyway and might not be able to afford paying you even if you win. No doubt your lawyer will advise you properly.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war! Good luck!
Ya, my lawyer said we will be suing the insurance company that covered over the Malaysian lorry driver.
However, the case will precede over a couple of years - this, according to my lawyer, will allow sufficient time to gather all strong evidence and supporting statements from all fields to substantiate my future conditions if I were to become disabled permanently in some physical aspects...
By then, if I really DO suffer any permanent physical liability, the compensation amount can be raise much higher.
As you see, in filing a lawsuit to any party, you can only make an one-time appeal of your bodily damages that were dealt to you by the inflicting party(s). Thus, it's going to be quite a long wait for me to get recover and another one full year before I will be reassess by professional doctor in determining any disability in me.
Just a piece of advice to all, don't let accident matter subsides just that you're afraid of trouble... It's not trouble at all, lawyers do provide good advices.
Bless All, Hope you all ride safely!
