Accident & Personal Injury
Low & Partners provides legal services in relation to accident and personal injury claims in Malaysia, acting for individuals and families who have suffered injuries, losses, or hardship as a result of accidents, negligence, or wrongful acts by another party.
We advise and represent clients in various accident and personal injury matters, including road traffic accidents, motorcycle accidents, car accidents, pedestrian accidents, workplace injuries, public liability claims, and fatal accident claims. Our team assists injured victims and their families in understanding their legal rights, assessing the merits of their claim, preparing the necessary documents, and pursuing fair compensation where legally available.
Accidents can cause more than physical injuries. In many cases, victims may also suffer emotional distress, medical expenses, loss of income, reduced ability to work, long-term treatment needs, and disruption to their daily life. Where the accident was caused by another party’s negligence, the injured person may be entitled to claim compensation depending on the facts, evidence, and applicable law.
Our lawyers assist clients in assessing the circumstances of the accident, identifying the responsible parties, reviewing police reports, medical records, insurance documents, employment records, and other supporting evidence. We understand that dealing with an accident can be stressful, especially when the injured person is still recovering or when family members are unsure of the next steps. Our approach is practical, clear, and focused on helping clients protect their legal position and make informed decisions throughout the claim process.
Our Injury Law Services Include:
- Road Traffic & Car Accidents: Representation for drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, and pedestrians. Includes claims for vehicle damage, hit-and-runs, and severe injuries.
- Workplace & Industrial Accidents: Claims for on-site negligence, faulty machinery, and unsafe working environments. We coordinate both civil lawsuits and SOCSO (PERKESO) claims.
- Catastrophic & Fatal Claims: Calculation of long-term future medical costs, loss of future earning capacity, and statutory dependency claims for grieving families under the Civil Law Act 1956.
- Public Liability: Slip, trip, and fall claims in shopping malls, commercial buildings, or poorly maintained public spaces/ road.
