Noel Clutched February 2, 2011 Share February 2, 2011 (edited) Hi folks, A car belong to a friend of mine was hit by a lorry this afternoon in her own residential car park. The car was already parked in the lot allocated for season parking holders. There were substantial amount of damages done. According to her, the driver almost wanted to flee from the accident. She was near to her house window when she heard the loud thud and saw a lorry moving off beside her car. She quickly ran to grab her phone to take pictures while shouting at the driver to stop. The lorry then reversed and the driver alighted from his vehicle while she instructed him to wait for her to come down. It turned out that driver is a PRC. As soon as she reached downstairs from her apartment, there were kind souls who approach her to be her eye-witnesses. One of them had mentioned that the lorry was doing a 3 point turn and it hit the vehicle when moving off. She took down the particulars of the driver, snap some pictures of the damages done and a letter for the driver to admit his fault. Police report was also made. Since it is the eve of lunar new year, there are no workshops available for repairs. She had recently bought the car. The damaged done was terrible enough that the front bonnet failed to open. She would not want to take the risk to drive the car out. As it is an OPC car, she had lost out the benefits of driving during this period, especially house visiting during the New Year. The waste of time, rental of car, etc are some of the inconveniences she had to encounter. I would like to seek views and opinions from the forumers here to assess the claim that she may or will receive from the insurance. Any good advise will be appreciated too. Thanks folks. Have a great new year! Cheers! Noel. Edited February 2, 2011 by Noel ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonTan 2nd Gear February 3, 2011 Share February 3, 2011 She should have punched that drive until he has to stay in hospital for CNY. Car damaged....how to sue for lost of use during CNY? I think the ins will only entertain the standard repair costs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenonWhite 1st Gear February 3, 2011 Share February 3, 2011 She should have punched that drive until he has to stay in hospital for CNY. Car damaged....how to sue for lost of use during CNY? I think the ins will only entertain the standard repair costs. Can do a third-party claim for loss of use.. Usually work for those use the car during work... But since its an OPC, so should be able to claim for that during lesiure.. But probably need to furnish receipts for proof ie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Clutched February 3, 2011 Author Share February 3, 2011 (edited) Go get a lawyer, anyway still need to report insurance within 24 hours. Thanks. Fyi, she had called up the insurance hotline to notify abt the accident. She was told to report on the next working day instead due to our new year holidays. Can the lawyer fees be able to claim from her or the other party insurance? If there is, any good lawyers that can recommend?

No point doing it as it will be even worse as she will spend her days in prison during cny. Felt sorry for her as this is her first car she bought for cny to ferry her old folks for house visiting. oh well....

Noel Clutched February 3, 2011 Author Share February 3, 2011 what is the relevance of emphasing that the lorry driver is a PRC? stir da bian? To inform readers that the one who hit the car is a Prc. Simple as that. Looks like it's u who wants that to happen n get all the misunderstanding to start.. I think u should stick to ur own slogan which suits u the best "Better To Keep Quiet & Be Considered A Fool Than To Speak & Remove All Doubtsj" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevel 1st Gear February 3, 2011 Share February 3, 2011 (edited) To just state? Oh please, by putting "PRC" driver in header somemore...... The anti-FT sentiments here are so so strong that mere mention of foreigner involved in not so societal responsible behaviour will have some forumers shooting harsh comments. SURELY you have read these threads? Edited February 3, 2011 by Stevel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Clutched February 3, 2011 Author Share February 3, 2011 To just state? Oh please, put in header somemore...... Why not? It's my thread n I do not see any reason why I should not have it there in the header. Nothing offensive. Why not u just stick to your slogan..n practice what u preach. Don't be a trouble maker.

SURELY you have read these threads? Well, it depends on the individual to see at their own perspective. This incident had happen n was caused by a Prc driver. Societal behaviour - come here n talk again when u are involved in an accident with them.. Edited February 3, 2011 by Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your first post to me said that you are just stating the fact that it was a PRC driver. Your last sentence "come again when u are involved in an accident with them" showed otherwise. Thanks for confirming my point, and since u keep highlighting my signature, it's my pleasure present it to u, since u clearly earned it Edited February 3, 2011 by Stevel ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
