PIPLA - Personal Injury Plaintiff Lawyers Association

The Personal Injury Plaintiff Lawyers Association (PIPLA) was formed in 2020 as a non-profit organisation to represent the interests of attorneys, advocates and medical experts, other experts and any persons who represent or assist people who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents in South Africa. Its members would largely be involved in work involving claims lodged with the Road Accident Fund and it aims to represent them, to encourage and promote ethical conduct by all who work in the field and to make legislative suggestions with regard to the legislative and administrative framework in terms of which those RAF claims are administered.
