The roads behind a Sri Petaling car accident
The KL-Seremban Highway, Besraya, MEX and Bukit Jalil Highway all meet around Sri Petaling. The KL-Seremban Highway is a named accident blackspot in Kuala Lumpur.[4] Toll plazas along these routes create regular queuing points where fast traffic suddenly slows.
A typical car accident in Sri Petaling
A car queues at the Besraya toll approach. The driver behind fails to slow in time for the stopped traffic. The car is rear-ended.
Toll queues like this one are a frequent site of rear-end crashes in Sri Petaling, since traffic speed changes so abruptly. The following driver is usually found at fault, since they are expected to anticipate a toll queue ahead.
Save your footage of the toll queue
A dashcam evidence clip of a toll approach shows how quickly traffic slowed. It also shows how much distance the following car left.
This usually settles this kind of dispute. Copy the file the same day before it loops over.
Your car damage and your injury claim run separately
A valid injury claim is paid by the other driver’s insurer once liability is clear.[1] Your car’s damage is a different matter, covered under the optional comprehensive section instead.[2]
Claiming for your own vehicle damage and your no-claim discount and a claim cover that second claim in full.
