You should report the accident to your own insurer and alert them to the potential claim. You sound like you'd benefit from some advice from them.

If the accident happened like what you described, then it's each to it's own damage, and repair.

 

 

i when to my bike shop he intro me to a motor claim company .... and said this shop will help me sent my bike to take photo and make claim ....

 

I seriously doubt any shop will undertake the repair of your bike before making a successful claim against the van's insurer. Because side to side accidents are almost impossible to pinpoint which party is to be blamed.

 

You have to be really careful here because some unscrupulous workshop will make you sign an undertaking that in the event of an unsuccessful claim, you will have to bear the full bill.

 

If the damage is not substantial, and the injuries are superficial, just logged the accident with your insurer, and separately get your bike repaired.

eh ~

 

i have gone to e bike shop and sign all those stuff =.=

i also scare claim fail .... so just only ask them to knock and respray my tank ....

Hope you are dealing with an honest workshop, but times are bad, and they are as rare as the dodo bird

 

Like all other things in life, never commit until you have an official quote otherwise it's like an open cheque.

 

My suggestion is that you go and find out how much is the "respray tank fee" as at least you can be mentally prepared.

Write to his insurer and make a third party claim against it. You have the vehicle number, you can search for his insurer at LTA or onemotoring by paying a fee.

If an accident involves injury, do not shift the car, call the police immediately. You must also make a police report within 24 hours of an accident involving

 

1. Damage to a government vehicle or property

2. A foreign vehicle

3. A pedestrain or cyclist

4. A hit-and-run party

 

How To Make An Own Damage Claim for Repair of Your Vehicle?

 

 

1. You are advised to report the accident immediately at the Independent Damage Assessment Centre (Idac) within 24 hours. If you have made a police report, you need to furnish a copy at the Idac.

2. Please call INCOME's 24 hour hotline: 6788 6616 for location of the nearest Idac.

.

 

 

if no injury and only damage to both parties vehcle, must i make a police report? cause i reported case to IDAC only. And stating "report only"

 

 

But "my bike shop" is helping me to make a claim against the driver. must i go back to IDAC to inform them that i'm claiming??

 

 

 

so if i decide to claim the driver for my replacement parts, do i get NTUC income to settle it for me? or my bike shop?

Hi people, recently i met with an accident, where a taxi driver from oncoming traffic that is turning right didn't give way to me that is traveling straight. From the a passerby that help out, he told me the taxi driver admitted fault to the tp at the scene. I was conveyed to CGH at that point of time, due to fracture and dislocation of my thigh bone and right hand.

 

After 12 miserable days in the hospital, i was discharged and consulted a lawyer that instructed me to just go to make a police report first. After a week recuperation at home, i proceeded to a neighboring police station to make the report yesterday. I had informed my lawyer that i had made the report already, where he also asked me to photocopy all the documents.

 

Because of the injuries, i am on clutches and had difficulty of traveling far. My concern here is, i do not know the rest of the procedure of a third party claim that my lawyer mentioned. In addition, how long does it took for the IO to pass the verdict of the case?

Hi, can any1 help me? i was involved in an accident. i was travelling near farrer road underpass. When i was coming out of the underpass, (there is 3 lanes for the underpass, i was in the middle lane), when exiting the underpass, the middle lane and the left lane merge into 1 single lane. After coming out from the underpass, there is one accelerating lane on the left. A taxi was driving behind an sbs bus, and the taxi tried to cut into my lane and ovetaking the bus, the taxi brush against the left side of my car causing me to swerve to the right lane and hitting another mercedes. After the taxi hit my car, the taxi swerve to the left and brush against the SBS bus, and bounce back to the right hitting the back of my car and causing my car to spin 180 degree in an anti-clockwise direction, hitting a lamp post at the side of the road and landed just right in front of the sbs bus and since the wheel is still moving, i crash head on with the sbs bus. The bus driver had told me that he saw the taxi was trying to cut into my lane, and there are double white line between accelerating lane and my lane. What are the chances of me winning this case and can i claim everything from comfort since the taxi is the one who hit me causing me to hit the mercedes, lamp post and the sbs bus. I heard comfort is very good at giving excuses and they have higher chances of winning the case as the company is under government. i was driving a toyota previa (similar to toyota estima), the front of the car is crush, left side have visible scratches and the right back of the car was dented. Taxi uncle still blamed me and said his car was crash badly, but actually his car onli suffer scratches.

Yours is a complex case as it involves many vehicles. This is not the place for speculation especially if you believe in things coming from "I heard...". Work closely with your insurer as you and your insurer will have to defend against other claims anyway.

[phuongtim39]

I accept with information: If towing service is needed, you can call Idac's 24-hour hotline at 1800 887 5151 for towing at no charge to you; At the Idac, you will be required to file an accident report and submit a claim to your insurance company; Idac will assess the damage to your car and we will authorise repair within two working days; Your car will be repaired at a workshop selected by Income in accordance with the policy conditions; Policyholders who are clearly not at fault and the third party is not insured with NTUC Income, can lodge a claim against the third party.

hey guys. in need of explanation.

 

i got into and accident on the 8th of july. it was a 3 lane one way road. centre lane and middle lane has directional arrows printed straight only. while the right most lane has a sharing arrow; straight and turn right. i was travelling on the right most lane(1st lane). and the car was travelling on the middle lane (2nd lane). he was ahead of me. but without signaling, he turned into the right from his lane and i haf a very short amount of time to react. so i hit the driver's door. as there wasnt serious injury involved, i managed to exchange particulars except for his insurance company and his address. however i didnt called the ambulance nor the TP. instead i towed the bike to my bike shop. and proceeded to the A&E @ CGH to do and xray and managed to get a 3 day MC. i then proceeded to make a police report.

 

this is where the problem starts. the very nextday i went to the bike shop and was told to head down to the idac and make a report. all was done. and idac has taken pictures of my bike. i got a call from the lawyer the next day and head down to his office. after that i never heard from the lawfirm for 3 weeks. and meanwhile my bike hasnt been done up. i was told by my bike shop that he cant do anything until he get a greenlight from the lawyer. but since we tried reaching the lawyer be it by phone or smses, all was to no avail. the bike shop arraged to get me another lawyer and a letter was sent to the previous lawfirm stating that i want them to stop acting for me. its almost 2 moths now and my bike shop still hasnt done anything to the bike. he kept on saying the surveyor hasnt handed over the quotation to him thus he cant do repairs to the bike nor can he start to order the bike parts.

 

Question is;

1) Is he(bikeshop) right to say that the bike cant be done up due to the surveyor hasnt gave him the quotation?

2) Am i right to say that the bike shop should order the bike parts and fix it even before the claim settles? And if he wants me to pay upfront, it shuld only be done when the bike is fix up am i right?

3) the bike shop nw asks me to pay for my own fairings since i told him i got a connection that theres a set of fairing selling at a cheap price as he claims that he cant be able to find a set of fairings asap. i thought i could help him by telling him that. but instead he said if i want the bike to be out faster, i can go and use my own money to buy the fairings myself. should i do that? but if i do, i wouldnt need the bikeshop to claim for me after all right?

4) maximum time for the bike shop to process and do up my bike is?

5)if i want to stop using the bike shop service and the lawyer and i want to go to a better place, how should i do it? how much would the lawyer fees be since i cancelled their service as they had submitted the report to the law-firm?

 

your advices will be greatly appreciated. as till today nothing has been done to my darling bike and that i tried to ask the bike shop but got a scolding instead and ask me to wait. but its been too long now. what should i do. thanks guy in advance. any kind hearted rider willing to help? thanks..

I have been actively avoiding discussing this cheapest louis vuitton bag with you all. It is not because I wanted to keep the goodness from you, rather the fact that I am still shocked Louis Vuitton made this line. And I really quite like the Spring 2010 cheapest louis vuitton bags, being extremely pleased with my purchases from the Spring collection, the Monogram Cheche Bohemian and foxy tail.

Then we have this bag, the Louis Vuitton Raindrop Besace. You must read on to see what I am talking about.

Need some help here.

 

Was hit by a taxi while giving way at a filter lane, he hit me from behind as a result of not stopping even when there were vehicles on the main rd.

 

Got up and took photos, and took down his particulars and license no etc.

 

He told me he wanted to settle privately, i agreed and we proceeded to a workshop of my choice.

 

Was quoted 800++ for the damages, and the driver said it was too much.

 

Then i decided to claim through his insurance, informed my insurance company, went to idac the next day ( within 24 hrs ) and got the accident report.

 

And how do i actually make claims for loss of income etc, if im holding a part time job?

So now i submitted all documents to my workshop and they are doing the claim for me.

 

Is there anything im missing out, and does anyone know if i need to wait for the other party's insurance to cover the cost of the repairs or do i have to fork it out first.

If the workshop assigns u a lawyer, u don't have to fork any money out... If they do not, then I'm not sure myself... Been involved in 2 motor vehicles accidents but both with lawyers... Took about 2-3 years to get the money... So I'm sure it will take longer without lawyer...

[koshownsyou]

Yes, they did assign me a lawyer.

 

It will take 2-3 years??? Its with T****cab.

 

So i have to pay the damage upfront first?

 

Mine is a motorcycle btw

[XxPJYxX]

No need to pay upfront, they will get it from the lawyer assigned to u... Yours is a sure win case, so I don't think they will get from u...
