Thanks bro. Looking at the time, it's probably not paying attention due to sleepiness. Keeping my fingers crossed that she pulls through.

I think it would be quite jia lat if he/she did. As it was noted, there were at least two other cars at the scene.

What witness do you want?? If the driver is there, car never move after accident, everything should be in place. Even if pedestrian run red light, driver will still be penalise.

Either way the car insurance will likely pay the full medical fees.

Right now is to hire a good lawyer, and immediately establish the facts and photos and prepare a Kilat report to claim the car insurance.

Who is right or wrong is not the time to argue now.

 

If just small abrasion, then ok...can argue and talk rough with car driver just for the sake of it.

 

But now concuss in hospital, better look at the future medical costs and claims! Not easy to claim from insurance hor. Better use the proper operation theater, not some small clinic room. Record down every details of medicals and events.

But it can help in the TP investigations. Most probably the car's insurer will cover most of the medical bills. But TP will still investigate to see if they want to charge the driver or not ma.
