Finding your Personal Injury lawyer in Singapore

If you are facing any form of serious injury or complicated injury claim, you will probably need to seek legal advice from personal injury lawyer.

Bring copies of all your documents: police report, medical records and bills, income loss information, and all correspondence with the insurance company. Most lawyers do not charge for the first consultation.
