Personal Injury Law
Road accidents form the bulk of our work. We are alive to the legalities attendant to the processing of a road accident claim. Hence, we best understand the Road Accident Fund Act, the relevant law generally, the formulation of the recoverable damages, and the procedures in the Magistrates and High Courts.
Over the years we have built ourselves a good reputation by assisting a huge number of claimants to whom we are eternally grateful for granting us the opportunity to enter the personal injury law field.
Our law firm has assisted the following category of persons to claim compensation from the Fund:
