The insurance company refused to meet the claim on the ground that Daniel was found not wearing a protective helmet at the time of accident. In the opinion of Sid’s legal advisor, the company would have to settle the claim between RM100,000 to RM400,000, depending on whether the paralysis is temporary or permanent.
