APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 1.1 The object of this protocol is to streamline the management of personal injury claims and non-injury motor accident claims (“PI/NIMA claims”) and promote early settlement of such claims. It prescribes a framework for negotiation and exchange of information before commencing proceedings.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 1.2 This protocol applies to actions arising out of:

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 1.3 Any reference to “the potential defendant” in this protocol refers to the potential defendant if he is not claiming under his insurance policy, or to his insurer if he is claiming under his policy.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 1.4 Any reference to an “insurer” in this protocol refers to an insurer that is known or could be reasonably known to the claimant or his solicitors.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 1.5 This protocol does not affect any privilege that may apply to any communication between the parties that is undertaken in compliance with it.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 1.6 This protocol encourages the parties to jointly select medical experts before commencing proceedings.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 2. Notice of Accident and Pre-Repair Survey (applicable only to NIMA claims)

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 2.1 Time is of the essence in the joint selection of a motor surveyor and the conduct of a pre-repair survey of the claimant’s vehicle.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 2.2 Within 3 working days of the date of the accident, the claimant must send a notice of accident to the potential defendant and his insurer (or where there is a multi-party collision, to each of the potential defendants and his insurer). This is to facilitate a joint survey of the damage to the claimant’s vehicle prior to the commencement of repairs (“pre-repair survey”). The pre-repair survey will include a survey of the vehicle when its damaged parts are being dismantled prior to the commencement of repairs.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 2.3 Within 2 working days of receipt of the notice of accident, the insurer must reply to the claimant and if he intends to conduct a pre-repair survey of the claimant’s damaged vehicle, he must include in his reply a list of at least three motor surveyors.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 2.4 Within 2 working days of receipt of the insurer’s reply, the claimant must reply to the insurer stating whether he agrees or has any objections to the appointment of any of the motor surveyors proposed by the insurer. The claimant may specifically select one or more of the proposed motor surveyors. If the claimant fails to reply or fails in his reply to object to any of the motor surveyors listed by the insurer within the time stipulated by this paragraph, the claimant is deemed to have agreed to the appointment of any of the motor surveyors listed by the insurer.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 2.5 If the claimant objects to all the motor surveyors proposed by the insurer, he must include in his reply a list of at least three motor surveyors whom he considers as suitable to appoint.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 2.6 Within 2 working days of receipt of the claimant’s list of proposed motor surveyors, the insurer must state whether he agrees or has any objections to any of the motor surveyors proposed by the claimant. The insurer may specifically select one or more of the proposed motor surveyors. If the insurer fails to reply or fails in his reply to object to any of the motor surveyors listed by the claimant within the time stipulated by this paragraph, the insurer is deemed to have agreed to the appointment of any of the motor surveyors listed by the claimant.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 2.7 The motor surveyor mutually agreed upon by both parties or presumed to be agreed by the claimant or the insurer (as the case may be) shall be referred to as the “ single joint expert”. Upon reaching such agreement, the insurer must immediately instruct the single joint expert to conduct the pre-repair survey. Alternatively, upon the expiry of the time stipulated for the claimant/insurer to object to the motor surveyors proposed by the other party and he fails to do so, the insurer/claimant must immediately instruct the single joint expert to conduct the pre-repair survey. The single joint expert instructed by the insurer or the claimant (as the case may be) must complete the pre-repair survey within 2 working days of his appointment.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 2.8 If the insurer objects to all the motor surveyors proposed by the claimant, both parties are not precluded from instructing a motor surveyor of their own choice to conduct the pre-repair survey. In such event, the motor surveyor appointed by the insurer must complete the pre-repair survey for the insurer within 2 working days from the date of the insurer’s reply objecting to all the motor surveyors proposed by the claimant. If the quantum of the potential claim is likely to be within the Magistrate’s Court limit, parties are to be aware of Order 12, Rule 3(5) of the Rules of Court 2021 on the appointment of a single joint expert should the matter be unresolved subsequently and proceed for a simplified trial. Both parties shall in any event not unreasonably withhold consent to the appointment of a single joint expert as far as possible.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 2.9 Once the pre-repair survey has been conducted, the claimant and the insurer shall negotiate and, as far as possible, come to an agreement on the cost of repairing the claimant’s vehicle.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 2.10 If parties are unable to come to an agreement on the cost of repairing the vehicle after negotiations, the claimant may proceed to repair his vehicle. The insurer may wish to request for an opportunity to conduct a post repair inspection once the vehicle has been repaired. The request should be made as soon as possible and before the repaired vehicle is returned to the claimant.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 3. Letter of Claim

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 3.1 The claimant must send a letter of claim to every potential defendant and his insurer.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 3.2 The letter of claim must set out the full particulars of his claim, including the following information:

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 3.3 In respect of claims where —

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 3.4 In respect of claims where the estimated quantum exceeds the jurisdiction of a Magistrate’s Court, the claimant and the potential defendant and/or their respective insurers are encouraged, to follow the procedure set out in paragraph 4.5 of this protocol for the appointment of a mutually agreed expert.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 3.5 If the claimant in a personal injury claim is non-resident in Singapore, the letter of claim must further state the date the claimant is required to depart from Singapore once the relevant permits expire or are cancelled and, where available, the date of his intended departure from Singapore. This is to afford the potential defendant or his insurer an opportunity to arrange for a medical examination of the claimant by a medical expert mutually agreed by both parties in each relevant specialty, or where there is no agreement, a medical re-examination of the claimant by a medical expert appointed by the potential defendant or his insurer prior to the claimant’s departure from Singapore.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 3.6 The claimant must enclose with his letter of claim a list of all the documents he intends to rely upon or which are known to be adverse relating to both liability and quantum.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 3.7 The claimant must enclose with his letter of claim a copy each of all supporting documents he intends to rely upon or which are known to be adverse, where available, such as the following:

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims For all PI claims: (a) full and complete Singapore Accident Statements and police reports together with type-written transcripts of all persons involved in the accident; (b) police sketch plan or, if that is unavailable, the claimant’s sketch of the accident; (c) results of police investigations or outcome of prosecution for any traffic offence(s) arising from the accident; (d) police vehicle damage reports; (e) original, coloured copies or scanned photographs of damage to all vehicles; (f) original, coloured copies or scanned photographs of the accident scene; (g) video recording of the accident (if any); (h) accident reconstruction report (if any); (i) Ministry of Manpower’s investigation reports (if any); (j) Notice of Assessment from the Occupational Safety and Health Division, Ministry of Manpower (if any); (k) medical reports from the treating doctor, reviewing doctor and medical specialist; (l) certificates for hospitalisation and medical leave; (m) bills for medical treatment and evidence of payment; (n) income tax notices of assessment and/or other evidence of income and loss thereof; (o) supporting documents for all other expenses claimed (if any); and

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims For NIMA claims: The claimant must enclose with his letter of claim a copy each of the documents he intends to rely upon supporting the claim for property damage, such as the following: (a) repairer’s bill and evidence of payment; (b) motor surveyor’s report; (c) excess bill or receipt; (d) vehicle registration card; (e) COE/PARF certificates; (f) rental agreement, invoice and receipt for rental of replacement vehicle (if any); (g) correspondences with the insurer relating to pre-repair survey and/or post repair inspection of the claimant’s vehicle; (h) supporting documents for all other expenses claimed (if any); (i) the claimant must also state in his letter of claim whether he had notified the insurer of the accident by sending the notice of accident. If a pre-repair survey was conducted and the claim for cost of repairs is made pursuant to the amount negotiated and agreed upon by the parties, this should be stated in the letter of claim; and (j) if, to the claimant’s knowledge, the insurer had waived the requirement for pre-repair survey and/or post-repair inspection of the vehicle, he should state so accordingly in the letter of claim.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 3.8 Where the claim is for both personal injury and property damage arising out of a motor accident (a “ mixed claim”), the claimant is to enclose all the documents set out in paragraph 3.7.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 3.9 The letter of claim must also instruct the potential defendant to immediately pass the letter and the documents to his insurer if he wishes to claim under his insurance policy. If the potential defendant’s insurer is known to the claimant, a copy of the letter of claim must be sent directly to the insurer. The letters to any other potential defendants must be copied to the rest of the parties. The letter(s) to the potential defendant(s) must be sent by way of e-mail, fax or certificate of posting. The letters to insurers must be sent by way of e-mail, fax, AR Registered mail or by hand (in which case an acknowledgement of receipt should be obtained).

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 3.10 Where it is not possible to comply with any of the above requirements in notifying the relevant persons or providing documents, the claimant must provide his explanation in the letter of claim.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 4. Potential Defendant’s response

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims Post-repair inspection of vehicle (applicable only to NIMA and mixed claims)

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 4.1 If the insurer wishes to conduct a post-repair inspection of the claimant’s vehicle not conducted previously, he must make the request to the claimant within 7 days of receipt of the letter of claim. The insurer must state in the letter of request why a post-repair inspection is now sought, especially if the opportunity for pre-repair survey and/or post-repair inspection had earlier been waived.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 4.2 The claimant must reply within 7 days of receipt of the letter of request. Where valid reasons are given by the insurer, the parties shall as far as possible, agree on the arrangements for the post-repair inspection so as to facilitate an amicable resolution of the claim as soon as possible.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims Acknowledgment letter

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 4.3 The potential defendant must send an acknowledgement letter to the claimant within 14 days from the date of receipt of the letter of claim. If he is ready to take a position on the claim, he must state his position. If not, he must first send an acknowledgement.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 4.4 If the claimant does not receive an acknowledgement letter from the potential defendant within the requisite 14 days , he may commence proceedings without any sanction by the Court.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims Joint selection of medical experts (applicable only to PI claims)

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 4.5 In respect of claims where the estimated quantum falls within the jurisdiction of a Magistrate’s Court, within 14 days of sending the acknowledgment letter to the claimant, the potential defendant shall send a letter to the claimant stating whether he agrees or has any objections to the appointment of any of the medical experts proposed by the claimant for the relevant specialty.

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims Substantive reply to claimant

APPENDIX B: Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims and Non-Injury Motor Accident Claims 4.6 If the potential defendant replies to the claimant with only an acknowledgement of receipt, within 8 weeks from the date of receipt of the letter of claim or within 14 days after inspecting the vehicle, whichever is later, the potential defendant must reply to the claimant substantively. For this purpose, the following provisions will apply:
