Making a claim for personal injury:

Personal injury claims in South Africa are more common than you think. The Health Department in Gauteng alone paid more than R1 billion to settle medical negligence cases since 2015. So, if another party directly caused your injury, then you can make a claim against them for compensation.

Injuries that people are claiming for range from slip and fall at shopping centres, restaurants or places of business, motor vehicle accidents, medical negligence, whiplash and many more.

Basically, if you get injured and can prove another party was negligent, then you have a case. And you are not restricted to bodily injury. Personal injury claims also cover psychological injury, injury to your rights and reputation, as well as to your property.
