How assessments are
calculated[2]
Should you suffer an injury and need to make a claim;
your insurance lawyer will assist in helping you make an assessment of your
potential payout. The process starts with identification of the body part that
suffered the injury and understanding the severity of the injury. Insurance
lawyers in Singapore will be able to assist in making an estimate of the
insurance payouts and the effect of multiple injuries.
Initiating claim
proceedings
Your insurance lawyer will begin the claim process
by serving a Writ of Summons on the alleged guilty party, requesting for
compensation. It should be noted that when an accident happens, the claims
proceedings need to be commenced within 3 years before the claim expires.
