Personal injury

Personal injury is physical or psychological harm caused to a person by someone else’s careless act, such as a road accident caused by another driver.

In Malaysia, a personal injury claim generally requires showing that another party owed you a duty of care, breached it through careless driving, and caused your injury. This is the foundation of making a road accident claim. The injury can range from whiplash to a permanent disability.

Even a minor-seeming injury can support a claim if it is properly documented. If you want to explore representation, request independent lawyer contact with the accident date, location, injury yes/no and a short general summary. Keep medical records private until an identified independent lawyer contacts you and specifically asks for them.
