No such thing as you want to use the road and yet you can get away with claims against you. Pay road tax while they are at it. "What's wrong with collecting more money?"

In the first four years after the accident, Mr Pollmann's wife, 44, quit her job paying $9,600 a month to care for him. Their children are aged eight and 10. I didn't know promotion is a sure thing. The judge actually factor his future in. "Justice Vinodh believed Mr Pollmann, who is living in Singapore, would have been promoted to managing director senior adviser last year had the accident not happened." I really hope that insurer appeals... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got 13.6 million because he was brain damaged by the accident. Cannot be brain damaged before the accident hor. 😁 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic May 3, 2021 Share May 3, 2021 It is amazing what you are able to find just by Googling names. I was curious about how this happen. So I Googled the Swiss national's name. Mothership usually have more details. https://mothership.sg/2021/05/cyclist-accident-13-6-million-payout/ Saw the driver's name, Ye Xianrong...Google. Found court documents...the Swiss is neither a citizen nor a PR here. His kids were 1 and 3yo when it happened. I dunno why ppl take such risks. https://www.supremecourt.gov.sg/docs/default-source/module-document/judgement/-2021-sghc-77-s908-of-2015-(ad1-of-2020)-pdf.pdf Found more details on how the accident happened.... https://www.supremecourt.gov.sg/docs/default-source/module-document/judgement/s908-of-2015-gd---(final)-pdf.pdf I didnt read all. Just wanted to find out who was at fault, really. And as expected...imo the cyclist. He did not keep to his left most side of the road. But the court will usually take the side of the vulnerable one. You can dont take my word for it. Sucks for the driver. $5K fine and ban for 3 years. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can dont take my word for it. Sucks for the driver. $5K fine and ban for 3 years. I read. The cyclist represented that he has cycled on the leftmost lane during the accident but the driver represented that the cyclist swerved into his lane (2nd lane) suddenly. Both sides called upon their experts to testify, and in the end, this judge basically called the driver's testimony BS. Hosey liao, this means next time if cyclist is not on the leftmost lane, it will be free for all. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic May 3, 2021 Share May 3, 2021 Provided the family member find lawyer to sue for millions. The Swiss national's wife will get the full payout?

Weez911 Supersonic May 3, 2021 Share May 3, 2021 51 minutes ago, Staff69 said: just wondering, how much locals would get, if in similar situation I had a quick chat with some of my friends who work in banks and they told me promotion is never confirm until the letter is received. This is more so at the senior management level. The judge has effectively factored in his promotion as a sure thing and prorate his "new salary" to the rest of this banking career, not considering factors like retrenchment, termination, relocation or reassignment to another role within the bank. The judge could have just asked HR experts from banks and they would have said the same thing. I read in the judgment that there is an appeal going on. I hope the appeal is successful. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Moderator May 3, 2021 Share May 3, 2021 The auntie that was knocked down by an e-scooter some time back was not paid a single cent if I remember correctly. But when the reverse happens ie cyclist being knocked down by car, cyclist is paid millions $. Seems ironic n skewed to me. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems ironic n skewed to me. because the guy using the escooter is unable to pay her personally, shoot him bankruptcy he also no money pay. the AM is pay 13m because the car is insured, if the car is not insured, i bet the driver cannot even pay 1m from him own pocket, most properly go jail and kenna fine only. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
