what we are expert at

Areas of Practice

Motor Vehicle Accidents

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, whether as a driver, passenger or pedestrian, you may have a claim for compensation.

Medical Malpractice

Medical professionals have a duty to comply with a certain standard of care and to provide such medical care as can reasonably be expected from a practitioner with such qualifications and experience.

Railway Accidents

The lack of proper safety and security measures and the ill-maintained, outdated railroad infrastructure often lead to injury or even death.

Dog Bites / Animal Claims

If you are injured by a dog or other domesticated animal, you may have a claim against the owner of the animal if certain requirements are met.

Assault / Unlawful Arrest

The Constitution places a duty on the police to prevent, combat and investigate crime, to maintain public order, to uphold the law, to protect and to secure all people within the borders of South Africa, as well as their property.

Personal Injury sustained in public areas

Injuries sustained in a shopping mall, retail store, cinema, restaurant, sports stadium, airport, casino, etc. caused by a falling object, a slippery floor or treacherous stairs may be grounds for a damages claim.
