Common questions
Which court will hear my claim if the accident happened in Shah Alam?
A road accident injury claim from Shah Alam is generally filed at the Shah Alam Court Complex, in Seksyen 5, Shah Alam, and is also the Selangor High Court seat.[1] Most injury claims go to the Sessions Court, which has unlimited jurisdiction for motor-vehicle-accident claims, so the size of a serious Shah Alam injury does not push it to a different court on its own.
The other vehicle was an industrial lorry near one of Shah Alam's industrial sections. Does that change my claim?
It can bring a company into the picture alongside the driver, since the lorry may belong to the industrial estate's tenant rather than the driver personally. A lawyer can request the relevant records from the lorry's owner.
Do I need to see a doctor straight away for a Shah Alam 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 Shah Alam 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 Shah Alam 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 Shah Alam 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.
