Quantum guide

A quantum guide is educational material explaining the factors that influence the value of a personal injury claim, such as the type of injury, its severity, lost income and future care needs.

In Malaysia, courts refer to a published compendium of injury awards alongside the medical evidence in each case. The exact figure still depends on your own facts, so a compensation calculator or similar guide can only be indicative. No guide can promise a specific payout.

Knowing the factors helps you gather the right evidence before any figure is discussed with an insurer. When an offer arrives, an independent lawyer can take on your claim and value it against your evidence.
