Hi, just asking if my friend is driving her brother's car and ran into a minor accident with a motorcyclist. Now the motorcyclist is claiming for RM700 (for medical fee & motorcycle damage). Can he?

Both of them have yet to make police report.

Is it better to make police report so that the motorcyclist would not able to simply claim rm700?

But will there be an issue since my friend is not the car owner?

And what if the motorcyclist intended to claim for insurance? But my friend is not the car onwer.

you can't stop anyone from making claim against insurance once they prove collision occurred

filling claim and successful claiming are 2 different things

in order to successfully claim, you need to further proof that
1. the other party is at fault
2. you have documents to proof your claim (medical report, medical bill, repair bill...)

I am assuming biker is asking RM700 directly from the driver

So the next question is, if you pay him RM700, can he still claim against your insurance?

The answer is Yes

My suggestion is to lodge a police report, go as detail as possible, like rider ethnicity, sex, age (estimate), bike model, bike colour... but leave out the plate number

By doing this way, you will avoid kena compound for late reporting in the event the biker decided to lodge police report against you

Once you confirm the biker has lodge report against you, all you need to do is to lodge additional police report to add on the bike plate number

The accident still within 24 hours. So might as well just include the plate number of the other side?

After making police report, and the worst case scenario is my friend ought to pay Rm300 for the summon right?

And if the rider wants to make insurance claim, then he has to prove further?
