Hi, an ex tenant is suing me for hospital costs in the small claims court. She fell and broke her arm in my driveway. She claims this was due to my dog pushing her over. There where no witnesses at the time. She also had her dog on the premises which often jumped up against her. Does she have a case against me? The person suing me is also on High blood pressure medication which affects her balance and stability. She was forever walking into doors and bashing into things.
Optional Information: Province: Gauteng Already Tried: I am struggling to find information as to the validity of the claim against me.
Hi There - she will have to prove you or your dog caused the damages. Your defence about the high blood pressure and previous accidents is a good one. I think you have a good chance of defending the case successfully. Good Luck and let me know if you need further info. Regards XXX XXXXXX remember to rate my answer.
Thanks for the answer. I was hoping to hear if her case would be considered by the small claims court as being valid at all to be given time in court.
It states on the Government legal site that the claimant should have a valid case for the court to consider presentation to court. I am obviously trying to see if I can avoid the hassle of going to court.
Does she have the right to present such a case?
Ok, thanks.
