What Legal Experts Want Injured Train Passengers To Know

Legal experts are urging those affected by the recent train derailment at Dal Josafat Station, which injured 25 passengers, to explore their rights, Cape town Etc reports.

Kirstie Haslam, a partner at DSC Attorneys, points out that if someone was injured due to negligence, they may have a legitimate claim against the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa PRASA, as the agency has a legal responsibility to keep passengers safe.

With a history of actionable failures , potential claimants need to seek legal advice quickly to help them through the complicated process of making a compensation claim.

'DSC has handled numerous Metrorail and Prasa claims which are long and complex, therefore it is important to know how to claim compensation,' says Haslam.

Claims for injuries involving Metrorail services are directed at PRASA as Metrorail is a division of the rail agency and an organ of the state.
