Our Services
Three areas where we can offer informed, careful support
Each service is described in detail below — including what it involves, what we need from you, and what a realistic process looks like from start to close.

Our methodology across all three service areas
Each matter begins the same way: a conversation. We listen carefully to what happened and what you are hoping to understand, before we offer any view on legal options. If we believe a claim has reasonable merit, we explain what it involves. If we do not, we say so plainly.
Our process is methodical — reviewing documentation, coordinating with appropriate experts where needed, and preparing each stage properly before advancing. We have found that well-prepared matters settle at better values and, if they proceed to hearing, are better positioned.
We keep clients informed at each stage without overburdening them with correspondence. You will always know where your matter stands.
Initial conversation — no fee
Understand the facts and your options before committing to anything.
Document review and merit assessment
We assess whether the matter has reasonable merit before advising on next steps.
Written engagement terms
Fees and scope confirmed in writing before substantive work begins.
Representation or negotiation
Court proceedings or insurer/party negotiation, depending on the nature of the matter.
Service 01
Motor Vehicle Accident Claim Support
RM 580 — first consultation
A supportive first consultation for people injured in road traffic accidents — whether you were a driver, passenger, motorcyclist, or pedestrian. We listen carefully to what happened, review your police report (NPI) and available medical records, and explain the claim pathways open to you.
These include direct claims to the at-fault party's insurer under Motor Insurance Pool arrangements, Third-Party Bodily Injury claims, and where applicable, claims against the Motor Insurers' Bureau of West Malaysia for accidents involving untraced or uninsured drivers.
We walk through the schedule of loss structure — general damages, special damages, and future medical expenses — drawing on the Compendium of Personal Injury Awards used by Malaysian courts. You are not expected to decide anything immediately; many clients take several weeks before they are ready to proceed.
What this typically covers
- Review of NPI police report and medical documentation
- Motor Insurance Pool direct claim pathway
- Third-party bodily injury claims
- Motor Insurers' Bureau claims (untraced/uninsured drivers)
- Schedule of loss preparation (general and special damages)
- Future medical expenses assessment
Typical process steps
- 1 Initial conversation — describe what happened, share documents you have available
- 2 Police report and medical record review — identify liability and injury documentation
- 3 Claim pathway identified — insurer negotiation, MIB claim, or court proceedings
- 4 Schedule of loss prepared and submitted — damages quantified using Compendium
- 5 Negotiation or hearing — settlement or trial, with your informed agreement at each stage
Typical timeline: 12–24 months (negotiation); longer if contested
Limitation period: 3 years from injury (Limitation Act 1953)
Service 02
Medical Negligence Claim Preparation
RM 1,950 — initial engagement
Careful, considered support for patients and families examining whether a medical negligence claim is appropriate. This is among the more complex areas of Malaysian personal injury law — and one where early, rigorous assessment matters more than speed.
The engagement begins with a thorough review of your clinical records: GP notes, hospital admission files, operative notes, nursing records, discharge summaries. We discuss the Bolam/Bolitho standard as applied by Malaysian courts since the Federal Court's decision in Foo Fio Na, and we coordinate with independent medical specialists for a preliminary opinion on breach of duty and causation before advising on merit.
Where merit is present, we advise on the most appropriate pathway — complaint to the Malaysian Medical Council, or Writ proceedings. We are consistent about realistic timelines: medical negligence matters typically take several years rather than several months, and the emotional dimension of these matters is something we take seriously throughout.
Included in this engagement
- Clinical records review (GP, hospital, operative, nursing notes)
- Independent medical expert coordination and preliminary opinion
- Bolam/Bolitho breach of duty assessment
- Causation analysis
- Advice on MMC complaint pathway as an alternative
- Writ proceedings if merit is confirmed and instruction given
Typical process steps
- 1 Initial conversation — describe what happened and what you are seeking to understand
- 2 Obtain and review full clinical records from treating facilities
- 3 Independent medical specialist review — preliminary opinion on breach and causation
- 4 Merit advice — MMC complaint pathway or Writ proceedings recommended if appropriate
- 5 Proceedings or complaint filed, with regular updates throughout
Typical timeline: 3–6 years for contested Writ proceedings
Limitation: 3 years from knowledge of harm
Service 03
Workplace Injury & SOCSO Appeal Representation
RM 3,500 — full representation
Representation for workers injured in the course of employment — from initial SOCSO benefit claims under the Employees' Social Security Act 1969 through to Appellate Board appeals and, where additional compensation may be available, High Court proceedings in negligence.
The engagement covers claim notification to PERKESO, support at medical board hearings, invalidity assessment review, and formal appeals to the SOCSO Appellate Board. Where the injury resulted from a third party's negligence, we also advise on and pursue common-law actions alongside the SOCSO process.
Our approach with clients in this area is deliberately measured — these matters are rarely quick, and we prioritise keeping you informed at each stage without overburdening you with paperwork during what is often a difficult period of recovery and financial uncertainty.
Representation covers
- SOCSO/PERKESO benefit claim notification
- Medical board attendance support
- Invalidity assessment review and challenge
- SOCSO Appellate Board appeal representation
- OSHA 1994 complaint support
- Third-party negligence action (where applicable)
- High Court proceedings for additional compensation
Typical process steps
- 1 Initial conversation — understand the injury circumstances and employment status
- 2 SOCSO claim notification filed or reviewed — benefits pathway established
- 3 Medical board hearing attended — invalidity assessment supported or challenged
- 4 Appeal to SOCSO Appellate Board if assessment is disputed
- 5 Third-party or employer negligence claim assessed and pursued if appropriate
Timeline varies: SOCSO appeals 6–18 months; court matters longer
Governed by: ESS Act 1969, OSHA 1994, Limitation Act 1953
