PRASA's mandate is to provide safe, reliable, and affordable public transportation to the citizens of South Africa, with a focus on improving accessibility for those in underserved communities but the safety and security of commuters on trains operated by PRASA has been a major concern in recent years. Reports of train hijackings, theft, assaults, and other crimes have become commonplace, leading to a sense of fear and insecurity among commuters.
Also, trains may not be well maintained in a number of ways, including:
- Failure to Inspect
- Lack of Maintenance
- Ageing Infrastructure
- Lack of Investment
If you believe that you have been injured as a result of a poorly maintained train or suffered harm or injury as a result of the lack of safety and security on PRASA trains, you may be able to make a claim for compensation. Typically, victims of train-related accidents or crimes can claim against PRASA, the entity responsible for providing safe and secure public transportation.
It's important to note that making a claim against PRASA can be a complex and time-consuming process.
It's advisable to seek the help of a reputable Personal Injury Attorney with experience in handling PRASA claims to increase your chances of success.
