Personal Injury, Work Injury & Insurance Claims

Time limits apply and they are strict. Personal injury claims in Singapore are generally subject to a three-year limitation period running from the date of the accident, although exceptions exist. Work injury claims under the Work Injury Compensation Act have their own, much shorter, notification timelines. The practical advice is simple: speak to us early rather than late.

Not before you understand what the injury is actually worth. First offers are often made before the full medical picture is known, and once you accept, that is usually the end of the matter. We would rather look at the medical evidence with you first.

We will explain our fee arrangement in writing before any work begins. Please raise the question of cost at the first meeting. We would far rather have that conversation at the start than at the end.

Most personal injury claims settle without a trial. But a claim is far more likely to settle on sensible terms if the other side can see that it is properly prepared and that you are willing to see it through.
