By years in practice, the most experienced are Lawtons Africa (134 years), Adams & Adams (118 years) and Livingstone Crichton Attorneys (111 years). All of them have a full profile on our site, with their people, history and the courts they use.
If you were injured, or lost a breadwinner, in a road accident in South Africa, you may be able to claim from the Road Accident Fund under the Road Accident Fund Act 56 of 1996. Claims have strict time limits: generally three years from the accident where the driver is known, and two years for hit-and-run cases. Many RAF lawyers work on a contingency fee, which is capped by the Contingency Fees Act.
Claims of up to R200,000 can go to the district magistrate's court and up to R400,000 to the Regional Court. Larger claims are brought in the High Court. For Sandton that is the Gauteng Division of the High Court, which sits in Johannesburg (about 11 km away). People living in Sandton are usually served by the Alexandra Magistrate's Court at 223 2nd Street, Wynberg, Sandton.
Usually three years from the date of the accident if the vehicle owner or driver is identified, and two years if they are not. Missing the deadline can end your claim.
A 'no win, no fee' agreement. Under the Contingency Fees Act 66 of 1997 the fee is capped, and the agreement must be in writing. Read it carefully before signing.
Ask how many RAF matters the firm handles, what percentage they charge if you win, and who pays expert reports. Compare the firms listed above for Sandton.
