Motor Bodily Injury Claims

Overview

All claims for injuries or fatalities by the third party(ies) that arise as a result of a motor vehicle accident involving our insured's vehicle(s).

Who can make a Motor Bodily Injury Claim?

Third party(ies) who sustained injuries or dependent(s) of the deceased third party(ies).

1. If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident in Malaysia/Singapore or Brunei, you are required to notify your insurance company of the accident and render the necessary assistance when required regardless whether you are at fault.

2. In the event that you and/or your passengers are injured or if there are any fatalities due to our policyholder's (insured's) negligence, you may pursue a Motor Bodily Injury claim against us. However, if the accident was caused by any other third party vehicle(s), you are to submit your claim directly against the third party insurer concerned. 

3. Alternatively, if the accident was due to your own negligence, a claim may be filed against you. Please forward all correspondences including Court summons received pertaining to the accident unanswered to your insurance company immediately.
