Dead Ferrari driver's family sues insurers THE wife and mother of
the dead Ferrari driver are taking the vehicle's insurers to court
after they said they were withdrawing coverage for the deadly
crash. The Straits Times - August 14, 2012 By: K. C. Vijayan THE
wife and mother of the dead Ferrari driver are taking the vehicle's
insurers to court after they said they were withdrawing coverage
for the deadly crash. The insurers, AXA Insurance Singapore, had
told Mr Ma Chi's family that the crash on May 12 was a "collision"
- not an accident, according to the suit filed in the High Court
last week. In the insurance industry, this means the driver was
aware that his actions would cause an accident, thereby voiding the
insurers' liability to make a payout. By suing AXA, Mr Ma's family
wants the High Court to reject this finding by AXA. The lawsuit,
believed to be the first such reported case in Singapore, is
emerging as a public interest issue as to what the circumstances,
under which an insurer can reject liability by treating accidents
as "collisions", are. In the crash, Mr Ma had allegedly run a red
light in Rochor Road. He rammed into a taxi, which then hit a
motorcycle. The accident left three, including Mr Ma, dead and two
others injured. AXA first informed the Ma family of its decision to
repudiate its liability last month. In the same month, the family
replied, stating they disagreed with AXA's position, according to
court documents filed. AXA responded by asking the family not to
liquidate any of Mr Ma's assets, and said the case should be
arbitrated. They also asked the family to supply a list of his
other assets. The family's lawyer Wendell Wong then filed a suit
asking the High Court to rule that the crash was indeed an accident
and not a "collision" as claimed by AXA. "It is not an easy
decision but the family feels that we need to seek the assistance
of the Singapore courts as the insurer made the decision to
repudiate liability first," said a statement released by the family
yesterday. "We just want to follow the Singapore laws as to what we
need to do following the accident that affected people's lives." A
High Court pre-trial conference has been scheduled for next month.
