Railway Accident

In South Africa, outdated railway infrastructure and a lack of safety and security measures often lead to injury or even death. Furthermore, passengers often complain of stampedes and muggings on overcrowded trains.

It is the responsibility of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa to ensure that trains, railway lines, stations and railway crossings are safe and well maintained. If the agency neglects its duty, and you or a loved one are injured as a result, you may have grounds for a claim.
