A motor vehicle accident claim commenced in the civil suit is different from a claim made under the standard motor insurance policy as the latter does not cover liability for death or injury. In the event of a motor vehicle accident, the victim who has suffered injuries may bring a suit against the driver who caused the accident. If a driver is found liable for the accident, the driver may be liable for general and special damages which may include medical, rehabilitation and hospital expenses, loss of earnings or earning capacity, pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, and in the case of death, loss of dependency and bereavement.

In the event of an accident, the victim may claim for compensation under the insurance policy from the insurance company. A civil action may also be taken against the insurance company in the event of refusal in complying with the terms of the insurance policy.

In this aspect, it is important for one to know their rights and remedies in a motor vehicle accident. We provide legal representation and advisory services to individuals who suffered personal injuries and damages in motor vehicle accidents.
