Personal Injury Lawyers
Personal Injury Lawyers Cape Town
Suffering a personal injury can be a traumatic and life-changing experience. Injuries can disrupt every aspect of your life — from your physical health and mental well-being to your finances and your ability to earn a living. At HB Inc., we understand the toll a serious injury can take, and we are committed to helping you reclaim control through skilled and compassionate legal representation and an efficient process.
As a firm based in Cape Town, we are deeply familiar with the legal landscape in the Western Cape and are proud to stand by individuals and families who have been harmed by the
negligence or wrongdoing of others. If you have suffered an injury, we are here to ensure your voice is heard and your rights are protected to provide you with the compensation you need and deserve.
Moreover, and most importantly, recognizing the financial strain that personal injuries place on victims, HB Attorneys offers a contingency fee model. This approach enables victims to concentrate on their recovery and rebuilding their lives, without the added worry of funding the litigation process.
What Is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury law, also known as the law of delict in South Africa, refers to the body of law that allows individuals to claim compensation for harm caused by someone else’s negligent actions or omissions. This harm may be physical, emotional, psychological, or even financial.
Compensation can be claimed for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Loss of earnings and future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering (physical and emotional)
- Loss of support
Our role as personal injury attorneys is to help you navigate the legal process, gather evidence, calculate the true value of your claim, and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
At HB Inc., we represent clients across a broad spectrum of personal injury claims, including but not limited to:
Motor Vehicle Accidents (Road Accident Fund claims)
Motor vehicle accidents are one of the most common causes of injury in South Africa. Whether you were a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian, if someone else's negligence caused the crash, you may be entitled to compensation. We can assist with claims through the Road Accident Fund (RAF), as well as direct civil claims for damages where applicable.
Our team handles everything from accident scene reconstruction to medical assessments and long-term loss calculations. We aim to secure full compensation for injuries, rehabilitation, and related losses.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners and managers have a legal duty to ensure their premises are safe for visitors. When they fail to do so — for example, by neglecting to fix broken flooring, leaving wet surfaces unmarked, or failing to maintain walkways — they can be held liable for resulting injuries.
Slip and fall cases require immediate action to preserve evidence and witness statements. We assist in gathering this evidence and holding the responsible parties accountable for their negligence.
Medical Negligence
Medical professionals and healthcare facilities are expected to meet a high standard of care. When a doctor, nurse, or hospital fails in this duty and causes harm, the consequences can be devastating.
Whether due to a misdiagnosis, surgical error, incorrect treatment, or poor aftercare, victims of medical negligence deserve justice. We work closely with medical experts to build strong, evidence-based cases and help our clients pursue appropriate compensation for the physical and emotional toll of these incidents.
Assault and Intentional Injuries
Not all personal injury claims stem from accidents. If you have been intentionally harmed — whether through physical assault, police brutality, or other forms of intentional misconduct — you may have the right to pursue civil damages in addition to any criminal proceedings.
We assist victims of such incidents by investigating the circumstances, liaising with law enforcement where needed, and preparing civil claims for damages related to pain, trauma, and
medical treatment.
Dog Attacks/Bites
At HB Inc, we provide expert legal assistance for individuals who have been victims of dog attacks or bites. Our experienced team understands the physical, emotional, and financial impact such incidents can have, and we are dedicated to helping you secure the compensation you deserve. Whether you are seeking compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering,
or lost earnings, we will guide you through every step of the claims process with compassion and expertise, ensuring that your rights are fully protected.
General Negligence
Many injuries are the result of carelessness or oversight in everyday environments — construction sites, retail stores, public spaces, and even residential complexes. If your injury occurred due to another party’s failure to meet reasonable safety standards or responsibilities, we will assess whether a claim can be brought against them.
How to Begin a Personal Injury Claim
If you’ve been injured and believe someone else may be responsible, it’s important to act quickly. Evidence can fade, memories can blur, and statutory time limits may apply.
We recommend taking the following steps:
1. Get medical attention immediately, both to ensure your safety and to document your injuries.
2. Record details of the incident — including photographs, witness information, and a written account of what happened.
3. Report the incident to the appropriate authority, such as the police, a property manager, or security personnel.
4. Avoid discussing blame or fault until you’ve spoken to a legal professional.
5. Contact our office to set up a consultation. We will assess the merits of your claim for free and advise you on the next steps.
