Mr. Shergill said that cases in Singapore usually take six months to three years to resolve. Some may take even longer in situations where long-term disabilities are slow to appear; when the parties cannot agree on costs and disbursements; or in cases where there are accidents or defendants abroad. A claim related to a relatively minor injury can take between one and three months to resolve once all the necessary documents have been obtained.
For more complicated matters, the process can take between six months and a year and a half. Third-party damage claims are generally resolved within six months. In more complex cases, insurers will need more time to investigate. You must make a report for recording purposes. If no claim is filed against you, your report will not affect your premium or no-claim discount. If the car cannot be driven and you need towing assistance in Malaysia, you can call the 24-hour hotline number at +603 2712 3187 for assistance.
Otherwise, you can contact Orange Force at 6789 5000 for advice. The towing benefit is limited to the amount listed in the policy contract. Once the vehicle arrives in Singapore, it will be towed to the nearest report center so you can file an accident report. The accident report will provide us with the necessary information to manage all claims filed against you for the accident.
Otherwise, you may have to manage and resolve any claims on your own. You may prefer to opt for a private agreement in situations where there is no damage or minor damage (for example, if the repair cost is estimated to be less than a few hundred dollars) to your vehicle. You will need to ensure that the private settlement form is properly completed and signed by both parties. If the settlement involves a cash payment, the recipient must acknowledge receipt of the amount. Download the private settlement form A private agreement is a resolution of the accident between motorists without the participation of insurers.
The agreement may consist of one of the parties paying the other or both parties agreeing not to claim each other. You can keep a clean claim record by opting for a private agreement with the other party when you have a minor accident. This means that you can continue to enjoy your current non-communicable illness policy and your standard premium when renewing your policy. The other party can file the report on their behalf.
As a result, you may not receive full compensation for your claim. In these cases, you'll have to pay the difference. You won't be able to receive any claims under your policy if the surplus* exceeds the cost of the repair. You won't be able to receive any claim payments under your policy if the surplus¹ is greater than the cost of the repair. The surplus¹ is the amount the policyholder must contribute before a claim can be filed.
Your non-communicable disease will not be affected if we can recover the amount of the other party's claim. However, if the recovery of the claim is unsuccessful, your non-communicable disease will be affected. When the accident is likely to be conflictive, we strongly recommend that you file the claim under your own policy. Once the claim is resolved, we will recover the claim on your behalf from the party responsible for the accident.
The Court has the right to award compensation for the loss of use of the vehicle to the claimant for any delay in carrying out the pre-repair inspection of the vehicle. The Protocol requires the claimant to give the paying insurer an opportunity to inspect the vehicle before any repairs are carried out. The insurer must carry out the inspection within two days (except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays), after receiving the notification.

When liability for the accident isn't clearly determined, some garages may not want to take the risk of financing the cost of the repair. Some garages may want you to settle the repair bill when you pick up your vehicle immediately after the repair. Others may agree to finance it at first and, later on, they want you to pay when they have trouble recovering the claim from the other insurer. Your role is to provide information about the scene of the accident and to verify the extent of the damage suffered by other vehicles. We will decide on the payment of the claim.
Yes, you can go to other workshops as long as you are insured for the Drivo Premium plan. However, we strongly recommend that you go to our specialized windshield workshops, as they have windshields in stock for most vehicle models. You'll be able to replace your windshield faster.

However, you must fill out a claim form for the windshield in our workshops. No, your no-claim discount will not be affected. We will pay the full amount of the payment to your financial company and they will settle the difference with you, if any. Once we have resolved the theft claim, the vehicle will become part of Income.
We have the right to decide on appropriate action. The police will need three months to complete their investigation. We will only pay for the claim once the investigation is complete. We will offer you the economic repair price of the vehicle and you can arrange your repair at the workshop of your choice. Under certain circumstances, you may have to recharge the difference in the repair cost if it exceeds the amount of the economic repair value.
We will pay you only after the repair is complete and you will be responsible for any problems after the repair. If the cost of the repair exceeds the economic value of the repair, we will resolve the claim based on the “total loss”.The economic repair value is the market value minus the additional preferential registration fee (PARF) and the reimbursement of the certificate of law (COE). In cases of temporary incapacity, report the accident to your employer and seek compensation for medical leave, wages and medical treatment related to the work accident. Navigating the car accident injury claims process can be difficult, especially for those who are not familiar with the legal procedures involved.
Car accident injury claims in Singapore are governed by the Motor Vehicle Act (risks and compensation to third parties). And be on the lookout for insurance specialists who suddenly show up near the scene of the accident and may not be in your best interest. Compensation for injuries in car accidents can cover a variety of damages, including medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. Car accident injuries can result in significant medical expenses, loss of income, and pain and suffering.
Car accidents are a common occurrence on Singapore's roads and can result in serious injuries that can have a significant impact on a person's life. Once you have been compensated, your insurer will initiate recovery against the other driver's insurance if it can be proven that the driver is fully responsible for the accident. You'll only receive 10% of NCD per year if you drive without accidents, meaning you'll have to have an impeccable record for five full years before reaching the peak of 50% of the NDC. It's understandable that drivers want to protect their hard-earned non-communicable disease by purchasing an optional NCD protector, which gives them one free pass per year to file a claim for an accident due to fault. Make no mistake in saying that just because you and the other party have agreed to resolve the accident privately, you don't need to report the accident to your own insurance company of cars.
Damages are awarded as compensation to the injured party for the losses they incurred as a result of the accident and not as a means of punishment.
