If a breadwinner passes away due to injuries suffered in a motor vehicle accident and he or she was legally obligated to provide financial support to a spouse or children at the time of the accident, those dependants may be able to claim compensation from the Road Accident Fund (RAF).

If the death was due to the negligence of another person resulting in personal injury, the dependants may hold the responsible party liable. They can then institute legal action against that party, who may have insurance or be represented by their employer or even the state in some cases.

The amount of compensation payable to a claimant in a personal injury claim is generally dependant on the extent of their injuries. For this reason, the court does not apply a “one size fits all approach” and the unique circumstances and impact of the injury has to be taken into consideration in every single case.

Sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and the incidence appears to be increasing. It is considered to be a complication of infection that can lead to multiple organ failure and death if it is not diagnosed and treated quickly.

Sepsis misdiagnosis and a delay to treat by medical staff can lead to a claim for medical negligence. People who recover from sepsis can be left with long-term health problems, including post-sepsis syndrome. It can result in life-changing injuries, including amputation.

If you or a loved one received a delayed diagnosis, substandard treatment or misdiagnosis of sepsis then you may have a claim for compensation.
