Common questions
Which court will hear my claim if the accident happened in Setapak?
A road accident injury claim from Setapak is generally filed at the Kuala Lumpur Courts Complex, on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim, formerly Jalan Duta.[1] Most injury claims go to the Sessions Court, which has unlimited jurisdiction for motor-vehicle-accident claims, so the size of a serious Setapak injury does not push it to a different court on its own.
I am a student who was riding a motorcycle near Setapak when the accident happened. Does being a student change my claim?
No. A claim works the same way whether you were riding to a lecture or anywhere else. What matters is who caused the crash and the medical evidence of your injuries, the same as it would for any other rider on the MRR2 near Setapak.
Do I need to see a doctor straight away for a Setapak claim to work?
A medical record made close to the date of the accident matters far more than which hospital or clinic you attend. If you were treated away from Setapak or delayed seeing anyone, get a report describing your injury and its likely cause as soon as you can.
What happens after I WhatsApp you about my Setapak accident?
We ask a few plain questions about the general accident facts and the insurer or police report status. If a suitable independent licensed advocate and solicitor is available and you consent, you can request contact about representation for your Setapak claim. The lawyer must separately confirm whether they can accept your case, and [what happens after you message us](/what-happens-after-you-message/) sets out that process in full.
