She had been referred to de Broglio Attorneys Inc. by her father, “My dad looked up Road Accident Fund on the internet and decided to use de Broglio Attorneys and then he told me about them. That’s how I decided to use them.”

As a result of the accident, Pretty suffered a severe head injury and had no recollection of the accident. Her injuries negatively affected many aspects of her life and these affects were taken into consideration in the settlement of her claim against the RAF.

Pretty was very happy with the service she received from de Broglio Attorneys Inc. and said, “It was handled quite well and it was handled very quickly. De Broglio told the judge my claim number and about my case and my advocate fought my case and then the judge agreed. It was settled very quickly.”

Pretty’s matter was settled in the North Gauteng High Court just 2 years after her accident for the excellent amount of R2,930,321.00. Pretty said, “I am happy with the settlement I have no complaints. I would definitely recommend de Broglio Attorneys to my friends and family.”
