Tips for dealing with the situation
Quantification of Damages
Using Metrorail in South Africa can be potentially dangerous, as trains and platforms may be dangerous to use at times. When you or one of your dependents is injured while using their services, you may be entitled to a personal injury claim. There are many circumstances in which people can be injured while using trains, including people who fall out of trains, people who are pushed from moving trains by others. You may also be a victim of people pushing the crowd at a train station or falling while trying to get on or off a train. In all these cases we can assist you with a claim. We have to investigate first to see if you qualify for a claim against Metrorail.
