Instead of amending the current Road Accident Fund Act, Government is putting the Road Accident Benefit Scheme (RABS) back on the table. What could this mean for road accident victims? 🚗

Capped compensation, paid bit by bit instead of as a lump sum, and a “no-fault” system where drivers who cause crashes qualify on the same basis as their victims. These are among the anticipated proposals, which could leave many injured people worse off.

See how the RAF and proposed RABS compare, and what's still uncertain:

Please note that RABS is not law yet. If you've been injured in a road accident, the current RAF rules and time limits still apply, so don't put off your claim.

Most amputations in South African hospitals are medically necessary. But in some cases, they result from preventable errors – from a delayed diagnosis to a mismanaged diabetic wound or even surgery on the wrong limb.

Losing a limb can change every aspect of your life. If you or someone close to you has suffered an amputation due to medical negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

But when does an amputation amount to medical negligence? Our latest article looks at the circumstances that may give rise to a claim. DSC Attorneys handles these claims on a no win, no fee basis.
