Rail Commuters accidents
Public transport is used by the majority of South Africans.
A large number of whom use rail transportation. Being run by a para-statal the rail commuter corporation (formerly “Transnet”) has certain obligations to the public.
These obligations manifest themselves in the standard operating procedures and maintenance which is demanded of it. Intimate knowledge is required of these as well as the duty of care which the rail corporation owes to members of the public.
That duty of care dictates that any commuter is entitled to a certain level of safety while being conveyed on a train. Malcolm Lyons & Brivik Attorneys Inc. have investigated numerous such train accident claims involving rail accidents and pedestrians accidents.
The damages claimable are:
1. Past Medical Expenses
2. Future Medical and Hospital Expenses;
3. Past and Future Loss of Earning; and
4. General Damages.
