Quantum guide

A quantum guide is educational material explaining the factors that influence the value of a personal injury claim, such as the type of injury, its severity, lost income and future care needs.

In Malaysia, courts refer to a published compendium of injury awards alongside the medical evidence in each case, but the exact figure still depends on the individual’s own facts, which is why a compensation calculator or similar guide can only ever be indicative. No reputable guide can promise a specific payout in advance.

Understanding the factors involved helps you gather the right evidence, even before any figure is discussed with an insurer.

A guide is most useful early on, when it helps you understand what kind of evidence will matter most for your particular injury.
