Motor accident injury claims are very common and thousands of such claims are made against negligent parties each year. Motor accidents can cause intense physical pain and mental anguish. Common injuries include:
- Neck injuries (e.g.. whiplash, neck sprain, cervical dislocation or damaged discs in the neck)
- Back injuries (e.g.. spinal cord injuries)
- Chest & ribs injuries
- Abdominal injuries
- Abrasion
- Limb injuries
- Mild, moderate, or severe traumatic brain injuries
- Fractures (e.g. skull, hip or wrist fractures)
Motor accident injury claims must be commenced within three years from the date of the accident, with the exceptions of victims who are minors or have a disability. If the injury suffered amounts to more than $5,000, the settlement sum and costs would have to be approved by the Public Trustee under the Ministry of Law. You can claim for both special damages and general damages for your injury claims.
We understand that a claim may be highly complicated. We will make all the necessary applications to the relevant departments like the Land Transport Authority, Traffic Police, Hospitals, Clinics, etc. All you have to do is to bring along all the relevant documents such as the accident/police reports, hospital/clinic reports and your receipts.
