Car accident claims in Sungai Buloh
Another driver hit your car in Sungai Buloh and you are not sure what to do.
Car accident injury claims covers the general rules for a driver or passenger hurt by another driver’s carelessness. Sungai Buloh fronts the NKVE directly. Its hospital and industrial park mean many vehicles turn on and off the expressway.
The roads behind a Sungai Buloh car accident
The NKVE, the Guthrie Corridor, LATAR and Jalan Kuala Selangor all serve Sungai Buloh, a hospital and industrial-park town built along the expressway. Service roads near the hospital feed directly onto the NKVE, so short local trips often end at a fast on-ramp.
A typical car accident in Sungai Buloh
A car turns into the NKVE from a service road near the hospital. It misjudges the gap and is struck by a car already on the expressway.
A turn crash like this can happen where a slow service road meets fast expressway traffic. The turning driver may carry more of the fault, since expressway traffic has the right of way.
Save your footage of the turn
A dashcam evidence recording of the service road and NKVE junction shows how much gap the turning car had. It also shows how fast the expressway traffic was moving.
Save the clip before it is overwritten.
Your car damage and your injury claim run separately
Your injury claim goes to the other driver’s insurer once fault is settled.[1] Your car’s own damage sits on its own track, under the optional comprehensive cover.[2]
Claiming for your own vehicle damage and your no-claim discount and a claim explain how that second claim works.

Common questions
I was hit turning onto the NKVE from a service road near the hospital. Who is usually at fault?
A car turning onto an expressway from a service road generally has to give way to the through traffic, so the turning driver often carries more fault. The full picture still depends on speed and how much gap was available.
Where do Sungai Buloh car accident victims get their medical report?
Hospital Sungai Buloh, right in the town itself, is one of the country's major trauma centres and the government hospital most commonly used for a specialist report here.
Does Sungai Buloh have its own dedicated court for a car claim?
A claim from Sungai Buloh can be filed at either the Shah Alam or Selayang Court, since the town sits on the boundary between the Petaling and Gombak districts.
Can I claim if I was a passenger in a car hit turning onto the NKVE?
Yes, a passenger's claim runs against whichever driver was at fault, whether that is the turning car or one already on the expressway.
