Personal Injury Law
We assist clients in the following aspects of Personal Injury Law:
Medical Negligence
When healthcare providers fail to meet the standard of care, patients can suffer serious harm. At this stage, it is important to consult with an experienced medical negligence firm that can assist you in instituting a civil case in the Magistrate’s Court or the High Court to claim for damages suffered.
Depending on the medical malpractice matter, our medical negligence attorneys have the knowledge and resources to hold negligent doctors, hospitals, and other medical professionals accountable for their actions. We will advocate fiercely on your behalf to seek justice and compensation for medical malpractice injuries.
Motor Vehicle Accident
From car accidents to pedestrian accidents, accidents can have devastating consequences for victims and their families. In South Africa, people that have been injured in a motor vehicle accident can claim compensation from the Road Accident Fund (“RAF”) and our experienced accident attorneys are here to help you navigate the legal process and pursue maximum compensation for your injuries, damages, and losses.
PRASA Accidents
On a routine basis, a big portion of our people in South Africa make use of public transportation and in past recent years, injuries and deaths include fatalities caused by train accidents and derailments, which mostly involved Transnet and PRASA. We help you institute legal proceedings against the appropriate authorities responsible, as per South African law.
Unlawful Arrest and Detention
Our Constitution places a duty on the police to prevent, combat, and investigate crimes, maintain public order, uphold the law, and to protect and secure all people within the borders of South Africa, including their properties.
At times, law enforcement does tend to use excessive and unnecessary force as well as detain unlawfully, which can result in the victim, seeking legal recourse for the illegal action. Our expert attorneys can assist you in instituting legal action, from consultation, filing and representing you where needed.
