to bear the consequences of a road accident due to a damaged or potholed road?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Prof Madya Dr Ahmad Marthada, any individual can claim damages or file a suit in court if they are involved in road accidents following negligence in maintaining and repairing any road damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Universiti Utara Malaysia lecturer said they could claim for damage from the involved department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, one can claim from the Public Roads Department (JKR) due to negligence resulting in accidents or injuries to road users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, AskLegal states that <strong>public roads are constructed and maintained by the state government<\/strong> as described in the Roads, Drains and Buildings Act 1974, <strong>except<\/strong> for highways with their own concession companies such as PLUS and private roads owned by a company or strata-certified roads such as in condominiums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, road users who are victims of the situation <strong>can file a suit against the relevant party (authorities\/government) under Section 5 of the Government Proceedings Act<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you still have to fulfil the criteria when filing a lawsuit. The suit for negligence requires sufficient evidence so that compensation may proceed to the relevant party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to keep in mind that filing a suit will take quite some time. This is because the case needs to show that negligence is indeed on the part of the sued party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"know-your-rights-as-a-road-user\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Know_your_rights_as_a_road_user\"><\/span>Know your rights as a road user<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Accidents due to road damage such as a pothole often occur, especially to motorcycle users. If it happens to you, make sure you know your rights to get compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not take this matter lightly. Consult an expert for professional consultation or get advice from your insurer to help you if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please also make sure your car insurance is active to ensure that you are covered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply visit Bjak to get the best insurance plan for your car. <a href=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/en?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=ad&amp;utm_campaign=bjakBrandJan2022&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAjJOQBhCkARIsAEKMtO2eFQr6cFjLubJLqkDzrugWnzi3N9mi05P5x0WRdTtKqObKbCkNx54aAh5cEALw_wcB\">Get free car insurance quotes<\/a> within 3 minutes and compare up to 15 insurance brands. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accidents due to damaged roads or potholes often occur. <\/p>\n<p>Learn what you can do if you are involved in accidents caused by poor road conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":22824,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","spay_email":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[5,59,1245],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Pothole Fatalities: Here&#039;s What You Need To Know | BJAK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Accidents due to damaged roads or potholes often occur.
