00:13son
00:14So why exactly did the water company have to pay such a large sum of money in compensation?
00:18We need to rewind to the evening of September 29, 2022.
00:22Around 10:40
00:24Fassah was 33 years old at the time.
00:27He was riding a motorcycle with his 9-year-old daughter on the back.
00:30When passing through Malacca and heading towards the Bodana Garden area
00:33Unexpectedly bumped into the water company
00:36Roadside signs
00:38This caused him to suffer a serious head injury.
00:40That was ultimately diagnosed by doctors as a permanent disability.
00:43It completely changed his and his family's lives.
00:46The Malacca ground court actually made a ruling earlier this year.
00:49It is determined that Fassha can obtain
00:51Future care expenses of over RM421,000
00:54And future medical expenses of more than RM237,000
00:58As for the merchants, they must bear 10% of the responsibility.
01:02Regarding this ruling
01:03Neither side was satisfied
01:04Therefore, appeals were filed separately.
01:06All companies challenged the Sessions Court's ruling.
01:10Fascis and his father and his mother?
01:13They are demanding an increase in the amount of compensation.
01:15This traffic accident
01:17The latest verdict was announced yesterday.
01:19After reassessment
01:21High Court Judicial Commissioner pulls Shekaran
01:24Yesterday, the Sessions Court ruled without sufficient evidence.
01:27The previously assessed future nursing and medical expenses
01:31One-third of each was deducted as a reason.
01:33The Sessions Court's ruling was overturned.
01:35He said that although Fassha's mother had always been unable to...
01:38Although he has been taking care of his daughter for free
01:41But this cannot be used as a basis for...
01:42Reasons for refusing to compensate for professional nursing care expenses
01:45Judicial commentaries also emphasize in the judgments
01:48The amount of compensation should be based on the actual circumstances of the business.
01:51How much care is needed to calculate
01:53Rather than depending on who is currently providing care.
01:56He explained that his family could not afford the cost of professional nursing care.
02:00The losses that the compensation system needs to make up for.
02:03It cannot be the other way around, claiming that the family cannot afford the expenses.
02:06As a reason why the injured person does not need care
02:09He said that Fassah has been in the news since the accident.
02:11She has always been cared for by her mother.
02:13We also need to hire a full-time maid.
02:16It is also true that they came to provide care.
02:17Therefore, the care provided by the mother
02:20They should also be included in the scope of compensation.
02:24Furthermore, the High Court also believes that
02:25The responsibility for this accident should be borne by the water company.
02:28And overthrew the Earthly Court
02:29The original judgment that Faciha must bear 10% of the responsibility
02:34The Justice Commissioner said
02:35The court did not have enough evidence to prove
02:37When the accident occurred
02:38Fassah has the ability to detect in time
02:41And avoid obstacles on the road.
02:44Therefore, he should not be held partially responsible for the accident.
02:47Because the water company placed a place that had no lighting
02:49Signs without reflective features remain on the road.
02:52In fact, it also poses a clear danger to other road users.
02:57This has violated the due diligence obligation.
03:00The High Court also dismissed the water company's appeal.
03:03It was proposed that Fashiha had registered as a disabled person.
03:06And are eligible to apply for government assistance.
03:08Therefore, the demand to reduce the amount of compensation should be made.
03:11Because the High Court believed
03:12Businesses are eligible to apply for government assistance.
03:15This cannot be a reason for businesses to receive compensation.
03:19Ultimately, the High Court ruled in favor of Malacca Water Company.
03:23The company must pay Fashiha a total of over RM1.657 million in compensation.
03:28compensation
03:28At the same time, both parties must pay for the appeal process.
03:32The total legal costs amounted to RM40,000.
