Common questions
Which court will hear my claim if the accident happened in Petaling Jaya?
A road accident injury claim from Petaling Jaya is generally filed at Petaling Jaya Court, in Petaling Jaya itself.[1] Most injury claims go to the Sessions Court, which has unlimited jurisdiction for motor-vehicle-accident claims, so the size of a serious Petaling Jaya injury does not push it to a different court on its own.
I was riding in the motorcycle lane on the Federal Highway near Petaling Jaya. Does the dedicated lane change fault?
A car crossing into the motorcycle lane without checking is generally the one expected to give way, since the lane exists for that purpose. It is still a question of evidence, such as dashcam footage or witnesses, rather than an automatic result for a Petaling Jaya claim.
Do I need to see a doctor straight away for a Petaling Jaya claim to work?
A medical record made close to the date of the accident matters far more than which hospital or clinic you attend. If you were treated away from Petaling Jaya or delayed seeing anyone, get a report describing your injury and its likely cause as soon as you can.
