😯 Singapore court awards $4.75m compensation for Singaporean victim of accident in Malaysia
More importantly, said Mr Shergill, who was recently rated one of Singapore's top lawyers in an annual survey of the best law firms, the case affirms that victims can pursue legal action in Singapore, rather than in Malaysia, if the circumstances and conditions warrant it.
"Where the pretrial and future losses are primarily incurred in Singapore, the courts will assess personal injury claims based on the merits of the case, regardless of location," he added.

Kudos to Mr. Shergill and the legal team for paving the way for victims to pursue compensation in Singapore when the circumstances align. Personal injury law can be so intricate, especially with cases that span borders, but this decision shows that with a strong case, victims can secure fair outcomes. It's reassuring to see that Singaporean courts prioritize the context of losses and offer a fair platform for justice.

It’s fascinating how Singapore courts can step in when the losses are primarily incurred there—it gives hope to victims who might feel stuck in situations like this. I was talking to a friend back in Louisville about something similar—she’s working with a
Personal Injury Lawyer Louisville after a car accident left her with hefty medical bills. It’s reassuring to see how personal injury law practices focus on ensuring fair outcomes, even if the process feels overwhelming at times. Cases like this reaffirm how much legal systems can support victims when they're truly in need.

Injury claims based on merit does not sound right. An old jobless woman who is a housewife will never be compensated accordingly.

Law suit is for rich man, not for poor man lah. It is a rich man game.
