I wonder how they came about to the RM 10 million figure.

2 years old, if the victim is to live up to an average age of 78 years old, she will be given about:

RM 10,000,000 / 76 years= Approximately RM 131,578.95 a year

I have heard of friends who were involved in similar accidents and they told me that the law firms involved in such cases usually receive a substantial fee from the compensation given out to the victim.

However, most of the time, such cases, especially those where the victim are dead, are usually dealt outside the court, since it can take “many” years for the case to be settled.

Well, it took 8 years to actually win this case, just goes to show how effective our judiciary system is.

Highest accident claim in the country…

Sophia Isabel, from Kuala Lumpur, was only two years and three months old when the car driven by her mother was involved in head-on collision with a lorry at the 67th kilometer of Jalan Kuantan-Maran, on Jan 3, 1999.

Judge Sarimah Hashim read the decision, awarding a total of RM9,821,909.88, including special damages, pre-trial and post-trial costs, and injuries suffered by Sophia.
