how much to claim for lost of transportation costs?

[lang]

Last time I claimed something like $15 or $20 /day for lost of transport.

 

BTW, I had to hire a lawyer to do my insurance claims. Paid him around $300, paid workshop around $400, I still have $300 extra. Something like that. Too long ago.... 2003.... The lady driver hit my rear fender, cracked. At first say she pay, but later decided not too. Tell me to claim her insurance. I fed up after talking to her and husband, so hire lawyer. So dum. Wonder if she lost her NCD or not...

You got her contact ad IC no rite? She also signed in the b&w document rite? Then if she back out, hire a lawyer and shoot her.

I got into an accident at aye last mth, i hit a wooden plank and skidded, no pther parties is involved, i have 2nd party and bike shop said i cant make a claim, can i claim from LTA? Anyone had a case similar to me? WEnt to TP headquarters fpr interview and i was not charged with anything.

[iman87]

Hmmm...Possible to claim from LTA if accidents is caused by road hazards stuff like plank, chair. etc on the road?

how we all wish we could file claims from LTA... haven't heard of any and seriously don't think we could be successful.

if can, then LTA would have to set up a compensation department liow... coz there're so many things on our roads that could cause accidents.

 

my first and biggest complaint... the road markings are so slippery when wet that many bikers buang when going over them. i'm a very careful rider but also kanne before. can't they use better non-skid materials since technology is so advanced now??? but then, they can easily say don't ride over them lor

hey...i might be a little out of place here...cuz i was actually driving when an incident happened...was travelling along robinson road, turning into finlayson green.it was a right bend, and i saw a bike coming extremely close to me somewhere behind on the right side. the guy brake, and thus skidded, or he would have crashed into me. i was just following my own lane, but he claims that i caused him to skid when in my opinion is that he went was too fast and too close to me. he suffered some small cuts and theres a scratch on his bike. we have each others name and contact number and thats it, he did not take any photo or anything else. just wanna know would i be liable for anything as the only reason i stopped was that he skidded right beside me, and i stopped to see what has happened and if i could help but as i've mentioned earlier, he claimed that i caused him to skid.

[Wildswans]

Suggest you talk to him and clear things up. Hope you had taken photos of his bike and injuries.

 

If still no go then might wanna consider TP and insurance

[josephsbs]

is the lane you were traveling on only for right turn or also can go straight?

if can also go straight and you didn't signal to turn right, then rider might have assumed you'll be going straight and thus thought he could pass you on the right. but to his horror, see you turn right, jammed brake like siow, skid & buang. hmmm... natural that rider will blame you for not signaling, driving "recklessly" and suddenly turning, causing him to buang http://www.websmileys.com/sm/evil/teu02.gif

 

if the lane can only do right turn, then its i guess the biker made a pretty bad judgment trying to pass you on the turn. there's little you could do but to slow down or stop. biker buang, he'ld probably say you suddenly cut in or stop for no good reason http://www.websmileys.com/sm/animal/7.gif

 

as a biker, i'm sad to say this but it seems like the poor chap is trying to find someone to pay for his repairs. sigh... its somewhat human nature to blame and transfer loss to others.

 

in my opinion, you should cover yourself by lodging a police report at any neighborhood post asap. tell the police officer recording the statement that its for record purpose only, just in case the biker lodge a police report stating a different story. you should also attach a drawing indicating the exact location and relative positions of your car and the bike. if the biker file a claim against you and you don't have any documentary to counter his claims, then you'll be in a very disadvantageous position. you may wanna check with your insurance if you need to fax a copy of police report to them

 

in any case, riding theory and defensive riding tells us (riders) to keep safe distance and not to overtake on the bend or at turning corners where many driver "piew chiu" 失手. the inner side of a turning vehicle is especially dangerous becoz the available gap for bike to go through closes in towards curb or another vehicle during the turn. worse case situation, kanna hamburger in between 2 vehicles, buang and go under one of them. i ever saw a courier delivery bike go under a lorry at a bend on Keppel Road heading towards railway station. bike gone case, one of biker's legs (shin downwards) also gone case. biker was darn lucky he didn't go under the wheels too. i saw the whole unfortunate episode as i was driving just behind and the scene still stayed in my memory after some 13 years.

do you guys have any lawyer that is very willing to go all the way no matter wat?

 

my accident goes like this.

 

my bike was going straight. this car on the opposite side didnt see me and turn right ( my left ) and i got into a head on collision. the green light was in my favor. so to cut the story short, i am right. he is wrong.

 

but the current lawyer says "you will win but i cannot garentee u get 100% claim." and i dont like that. so i need a lawyer who can confidently say he can win for me 100% of the claim.

 

so if you guys know anyone, and please not because that lawyer is ur friend or someone you know but more of a good reputation and history, please contact me at 97539764 Qrisx.

 

Thanks so much.

Your lawyer is being realistic and setting the right expectations for you, instead of not telling you and leaving you to find out at the end when the damages are determined.

 

A lawyer can tell you when you definitely won't win; but no lawyer should tell you that you definitely will win the case for 100% of the damages because hardly any cases are that clear cut, including yours.

[omnislash]

 

.... there wouldnt be a case as theres no damage to public property, no injury, and doesnt affect cyclists or pedestrains.

......

 

Regards

 

How can there be no injuries? You said u suffered bruise and scratches right? That count as an injury mah. Who knows if there is internal injury or not? Only doctor will know.
