The High Court has rejected an injured motorist's bid to pursue a personal injury claim against a car insurer, pointing out he had signed a discharge voucher releasing the insurer from any further liability. The motorist, Mr Lawrence Lim, claimed that he had made a mistake...

The claim was settled and Mr Lim signed the DV issued by NTUC Income at the workshop in 2012.

NTUC Income's lawyers Richard Tan and Michelle Peh argued, among other things, that the insurer did not know of Mr Lim's mistake, as the mere indication of injury in Mr Lim's accident report did not mean he would sue for personal injury. Justice Choo held that even"if there were clear references to injury claim, the DV made clear that the acceptance of the settlement covers it all".
