Victims of negligence have specific legal rights to compensation. Knowing these rights is the first step toward justice.
RAF and Medical Negligence
In South Africa, the Road Accident Fund (RAF) provides a social security safety net to the victims of road accidents. However, navigating the claim process can be complex and time-consuming. Similarly, medical negligence claims require specialized legal expertise to prove breach of duty and causation.
Steps to Take
- Document Everything: Keep records of all medical expenses, police reports, and witness details.
- Seek Legal Counsel Early: Prescription periods apply to all personal injury claims. Don't wait until it's too late.
