If u win bus insutance company will pay. Just briefly ask lawyer first can win or not... Coz the bus is party at fault.
But if u want a free advice... Complaint to bnm LINK.
Hi again sifus,
Got an advice from BNM Link to approach the insurance company. I communicate with them via phone calls and emails.
The insurance company had sort of 're-looked' into my case but then insisted me to provide them with enough documents, especially medical history, etc...
I couldn't produce any docs on medical but insisted that my family and i had several visits to traditional health/medical practitioners of some sort (i.e dukun/bomoh/sinsei - not legit registered, of course).
Failing to fulfil their request promptly, they called me up to offer me some 'meagre' amount of compensation - just a couple of thousand for the worst nightmare of our lives (we had experience the worst accident that no word could describe). The insurance co seems ignorant to the fact that any accident is traumatic and very stressfull. To us, the trauma is unpayable with money.
When i asked the insurance, what is the role/commitment of the offending bus company, they didn't give me the answer. I am holding them as trying to settle with me on their own part and leaving the company 'untouchable'. At least the 'offending' company call me up or provide me with a line of their response.
Now, like i said earlier they made an offer to compensate us for a couple of thousand but i haven't responded yet.
I am still seeking ur advice -
is it wrong for me to ask for the compensation to be raised? Beneath the raise request, i put up an example which sounds something like this - "If i am to offer somebody tens of thousand of ringgit, and then make him stand in the middle of the road to let me knock him down, will he 'agree'? No, definitely not. Thus i am asking for an increase - use something like "budibicara" and "perikemanusiaan... etc...etc... and not merely relying on the book in considering an amount of compensation..." (I haven't engaged any legal yet, as i am afraid the legal guy would demand a high legal fee). If it's OK for me to ask for a higher compensation, then i'll reply to the insurance company offer.
Please advise further, bros n sis, n thank you very much.
