FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim is for compensation when someone is harmed, either physically or
emotionally. For example, arising from:

How long do I have to file a claim?
You must file a claim within 3 years from the date of the incident/accident or when you first
became aware of it. Please note that you can file a claim even before police investigations are
concluded.
What if the accident was partially my fault?
You may still file a personal injury claim if you are partially at fault for the accident. Your
compensation may be reduced based on your share of liability. Our team will work with you
to secure the best possible outcome for you.
What if I want to sue my doctor? Would it also fall under this category?
Yes, if you believe that your doctor has been negligent, you can file a claim against the
hospital not for personal injury, but for medical negligence, for example:
- Misdiagnosis
- Improper treatment
- Surgical error, etc
How do I prove medical negligence?
There are a few elements. Firstly, you must show that there was a relationship between the
doctor and you, as a patient. Secondly, you must show that the doctor breached his duty of
care. Lastly, you must show that the medical negligence resulted in consequences. For
example:
- Injury
- Worsened condition
