If you’ve been injured due to the use of unreasonable force by the police, you may be able to institute a personal injury claim against the South African Police Services or the metropolitan police department in your city.
If you’ve been injured as a result of police assault, it’s possible you can claim compensation for:
-
medical expenses you’ve already incurred
-
future medical and hospital expenses
-
past and future loss of earnings
-
general damages for pain and suffering.
If a breadwinner in your family has died as a result of injuries due to police assault, you can also claim for loss of support.
