Any lawyer or law student here that can advise me my chance of winning if I were to sue MINDEF for negligence.
Case 1
Not too long ago, I was diagnosed to have hole in the heart. My heart consultant confirmed that it is a born defect. He was astonished that I was enlisted for Pes B National Service, and said that he can write me a discharge letter if I were to call for reservist. I told him I had already completed my cycle of NS. I then ask him if I intend to sue MINDEF for negligence, is he able to be the witness. He said he can provide my diagnose report.
Case 2
I had severe back pain and after some detailed MRI, specialist asked me if I had carry very heavy object. I never do any weight lifting in my life. Also I did not do any manual labour work in my career. The heaviest object I ever carried was being forced to caservack my buddy during NS. I was then 58-60kg, buddy was fatty 90-100kg type. After the exercise I started to have back pain and it only get more serious today.
I am more confident on Case1. Case 2 is hard to prove since it happened long ago.
Case 1 is clearly a negligence by MINDEF during the pre enlistment checkup, even though it happened long ago. MINDEF could defend that I am still in 1 piece and alive, but the firmed thing is they were negligent, and I could have lost my life during SOC and IPPT.
I would like to seek for compensation, preferably in monetary form as I am in need of money . I will engage lawyer if chance of winning is medium to high . Any serious advice is appreciated.
