Please remember that third-party claims are legal in nature and consequently the relevant legal principles as defined in the law of delict will be applicable to any third-party claim.
If warranted, an offer will be made in terms of the principles as governed by the law, which regulate motor vehicle collisions. Both driver’s contributory negligence will be considered and app**** to the offer that follows. Negligence on a driver is measured against a driver’s failure/neglect to act as a “reasonable person”. What this means is that where a driver failed to keep a proper look-out and/or maintain a reasonable speed, he/she will be deemed to have acted negligently. Where a driver could have but failed to take evasive action to avoid a collision, he/she would be deemed to have acted negligently and thus contributed to his/her own loss. A settlement will then be calculated accordingly.
