Third Party Claims - MW Attorneys Our Services

Suffering harm due to someone else’s negligence can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate the legal process alone. If you’ve been injured or experienced financial loss in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to compensation through a third-party claim.

Whether your case involves a motor vehicle accident, damage to property, or loss of financial support due to someone else’s actions, our dedicated team will guide you through the legal process with professionalism and care.

What is a Third-Party Claim?

A third-party claim arises when you seek compensation from another party responsible for your injury, damages, or financial loss. Unlike direct insurance claims, third-party claims require you to prove negligence or wrongdoing by the responsible party.

These claims can include:

  • Road Accident Fund (RAF) Claims – Compensation for injuries or loss of support due to motor vehicle accidents. Read more here.
  • Claims against negligent drivers – Seeking reimbursement from the responsible party for property damage or medical expenses.
  • Public transport and pedestrian accidents – Claims for passengers, pedestrians, or cyclists injured in accidents involving buses, taxis, or private vehicles.
  • Loss of support claims – Compensation for dependents of individuals who passed away due to someone else’s negligence.
  • Property damage claims – Recovering costs for damage to personal or business property caused by another party’s actions.

What can you claim for?

The law provides for compensation in several areas, depending on the nature of your claim. These may include:

  • Medical expenses – Covering current and future hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation and doctor’s fees.
  • Loss of earnings – Compensation if your injury prevents you from working or affects your future earning potential.
  • Pain and suffering – Financial relief for physical and psychological trauma resulting from the incident.
  • Loss of support – If a family member who provided financial support has passed away due to the accident, dependents may be entitled to claim.
  • Property damage – Recovery of costs to repair or replace damaged property caused by another party’s negligence.
