  • Road Accident Fund Claims

    Who can claim from the Road Accident Fund
    Anyone (including foreign nationals) seriously injured in an accident on South Africa’s roads – including drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians – can claim compensation from the Road Accident Fund.

    What you can claim from the Road Accident Fund
    Victims of road accidents can claim for medical expenses, loss of earnings and, in cases involving serious injury, general damages for pain and suffering. If a breadwinner in your family is killed in a road accident, you can claim for loss of support and funeral costs. The Road Accident Fund does not cover damage to a vehicle or other material damages or losses. These must be claimed directly from the driver who caused the accident or from the driver’s insurance carrier.

  • Constitutional & Administrative Law

    South Africa is recognised as having one of the best-written and forward-looking constitutions in the world.

    Some of the services that we render on this area of the law include: drafting of legislation and regulations; reviewing and advising on policy documents applicable to organs of state; drafting internal policy documents on various aspects that govern an institution; litigation arising out of the exercise of administrative powers by an organ of state; and drafting of legal opinions on constitutional and administrative powers of organs of state

    At MHS ATTORNEYS INC we encourage our attorneys to do at least 24 hours of probono work per year. However, we leave our attorneys to select their own cases, provided that the clients satisfy the means test and that our attorneys have sufficient capability and capacity to do so.
    We accept referrals for probono work  from Probono.org, where we have capacity and the expertise to assist. As such, we are happy to consider requests from the public for probono assistance, but we cannot guarantee that any of our attorneys will have the capacity, or expertise, to assist.
