Detailed table of contents + excerpts from chapters 15 and 17

"As a busy practitioner in accident benefits, navigating the complexities of the SABS legislation can be daunting, especially if you have limited knowledge of the system. Accident Benefits: A Practical Desk Reference has filled a void in the legal field and has made it easier for me to find answers to specific questions, provided me with great practice tips and has helped me improved my understanding of the regulations. I would recommend that anyone who is considering representing SABS claims purchase this book to help guide them towards the best resolution for their clients."

—Crystal Krandel, Grillo Barristers Personal Injury Lawyers

"I recently purchased Accident Benefits and as a newly called lawyer, I find this book fantastic. I have been looking for such a text for a long time. It's an excellent reference for lawyers."

—Kristofer B. Angle, Personal Injury Lawyer

"Other books may discuss cases that deal with monetary rewards for specific types of injuries…however, as yet there has been no step-by-step guide on how to start an accident benefits claim, or see if through to its conclusion. This book fills that gap."
