Adopting a no-fault compensation scheme for motor vehicle accidents in Malaysia: a myth or reality
Published 2013“…Concern over tort’s effectiveness as an appropriate personal injury compensation mechanism for victims of motor vehicle accidents and the realization that the traditional tort system developed in the days of the horse and carriage was never contemplated to address contemporary issues facing accident victims, a number of common law jurisdictions have initiated significant departures from the system and have moved in the direction of adopting an alternative no-fault compensatory model where all persons injured in road accidents obtain compensation regardless of establishing fault thus shifting the focus on the needs of the injured victim rather than on one’s culpability. These modern compensation schemes are premised on the philosophy of community responsibility, social justice and public benefit. …”
