Accidents and Personal Injury Claims law in Johor Bahru
Personal injury claims cover compensation for injury caused by another party's negligence — most often road accidents, but also workplace and public-place injuries. Damages are assessed under the Civil Law Act 1956 (section 28A for injury, section 7 for wrongful death). If the at-fault driver had no valid insurance, the Motor Insurers' Bureau may compensate the injury itself. The firms below handle personal injury claims in Johor Bahru, Johor.
Common questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Malaysia?
Six years from the date of the accident under the Limitation Act 1953. That's separate from — and longer than — the three-year window to claim from the Motor Insurers' Bureau if the at-fault vehicle was uninsured, so don't wait to act.
What if the driver who hit me had no insurance?
The Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) compensates the injury itself — not vehicle or property damage — if you can identify the vehicle involved. It does not cover hit-and-run cases where the vehicle cannot be identified, and a claim must be lodged within three years of the accident.
How is compensation calculated by lawyers in Johor Bahru?
Section 28A of the Civil Law Act 1956 sets a statutory multiplier for loss of future earnings: 16 years' purchase for victims aged 30 or under, and (60 minus age at the time of the accident) divided by 2 for victims aged 31 to 59. Insurance and pension payouts are not deducted from the award.
