Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer to file a trademark or patent?
It’s highly recommended. Mistakes in applications can delay or limit your protection.
What is the difference between a provisional and a standard patent?
A provisional patent is a placeholder that secures your priority date. A standard patent offers full protection for up to 20 years.
Can I take action if someone copies my product or brand?
Yes. You may pursue legal remedies such as injunctions, damages, and seizure of counterfeit goods.
What qualifies as medical negligence?
A failure to meet the standard of care expected of a medical professional, resulting in injury or harm.
Is it difficult to prove medical negligence?
It can be complex. Strong evidence and expert medical opinions are critical. Legal help is essential.
Can I sue a public hospital in Singapore?
Yes. Claims can be brought against public institutions, though additional procedural steps may apply.
Do I have to prove fault to file a WICA claim?
No. WICA is a no-fault compensation scheme. You only need to show that the injury happened in the course of work.
Can I file a WICA claim and a lawsuit at the same time?
No. You must choose one route—either claim under WICA or sue under common law. Legal advice can help you decide.
How much compensation can I receive under WICA?
It depends on the severity of the injury, medical costs, and lost income. MOM has a prescribed formula.
What if my employer refuses to report the accident?
You can report it directly to MOM. A lawyer can help ensure your rights are protected and the claim is processed.
