Personal injury quantum
What Singapore courts awarded for personal injury, organised into 8 injury clusters. Each page reports the amounts awarded in specific past judgments, broken down by head of damage and tied to the source case.
These are amounts awarded in specific past cases on their own facts — not a prediction of any future award, and not an estimate of what any particular injury is “worth”. Awards turn on the medical evidence, severity and circumstances of each case. For an assessment of a specific situation, consult a qualified Singapore Advocate & Solicitor.
