MYTH: "I signed the consent form, so I can't do anything."

TRUTH: A signature is not a waiver of your right to proper care.

Signing a consent form means you agreed to the procedure. It does not mean:
• You were properly informed of the risks
• The treatment met the required standard of care
• You have no recourse if something went wrong

Don't let a piece of paper stop you from asking the right questions.

If your child was harmed by negligence in a State hospital, what are you owed: money, or treatment?

The Supreme Court of Appeal has confirmed the answer is money. A single award, calculated once, that you and your family control. You cannot be handed a voucher for treatment in the same system that caused the harm.

These claims are complex and they do prescribe, so the sooner they are assessed, the better.

If this is your family, speak to us. Malcolm Lyons & Brivik has handled medical negligence and birth injury claims for decades, and we will assess yours at no cost to you. https://mlblegal.co.za/contactus/

Were you a passenger in a car accident?

You have the same right to claim from the Road Accident Fund as anyone else injured on South African roads.

It doesn't matter if you were in a taxi, a lift, a bus or a friend's car.
It doesn't matter who was at fault.
The claim is against the Fund, not the driver.

Don't let anyone tell you that you have no case because you weren't driving.

1965. South Africa's first personal injury law firm opens its doors.

Sixty years later, we're still here, still fighting for our clients across personal injury, medical negligence, RAF claims, and labour law.

From Johannesburg to Cape Town. From South Africa to international clients abroad.

Some things get better with time.

Are you a gig worker, freelancer, or 'independent contractor'?

South African courts are increasingly looking past the label on your contract and asking what your working relationship actually looks like.

If you work for one company, on their schedule, using their tools, you may have more rights than you've been told.

The law is shifting. Know where you stand.

IVF and fertility treatments are becoming more common in South Africa and so are the legal questions around them.

Patients have the right to:
• Proper informed consent
• Competent, professional care
• Honest disclosure of risks

When things go wrong, the same legal principles that apply to any medical negligence case apply here too.

It's a new area of law. But the rights are real.

Slipped in a shop? Tripped in a car park? Fell because of a broken step?

If the property owner knew about the hazard and did nothing — or should have known, you may have a claim.

Many people walk away from these situations assuming it was just bad luck.

Sometimes it is. Sometimes it's negligence.

The difference is worth finding out.

MYTH: "It happened at a government hospital, so I can't do anything."

TRUTH: You can.

South African law allows patients to hold the State accountable for negligent medical care even at public hospitals and clinics.

The process is different, and there are specific steps to follow. But the right to claim is there.

Don't assume you have no options. Speak to us first.

Did you know? Even if only ONE person is being retrenched, the employer still has to follow the full retrenchment process.

That means:
• Written notice and consultation
• Consideration of alternatives
• Fair selection criteria

Skip the process and the dismissal can be challenged.

Whether you're an employer wanting to get this right, or an employee who wasn't properly consulted, we can help.
