Notaries Public. Commissioners for Oaths
A Malaysian motorcyclist, Mr. Lai, was involved in an accident on 7 August 2014 when a female motorcar driver
had suddenly cut into his lane, causing him to apply emergency brakes. The motorcyclist behind him, however,
had failed to stop in time and as such collided with Mr. Lai, causing him to surge forward and collide with
the motorcar.
The Court ruled that the female cyclist was to bear 50% liability while both motorcyclists bore 25% liability
for the accident. The Court awarded Mr. Lai S$615,000 in compensation for his loss of earning capacity and pain
and suffering.
Mr. Lai was represented by our senior lawyer, Mr N. Srinivasan.
