"To explain the complexity South Africa faces with regards to life expectancy projections, Shivesh Haripersad says, “Typically, life expectancy of people with severe disabilities are determined by consulting foreign statistical databases. In South Africa we do not have a unique database of this kind and this results in us having to look to foreign databases to settle South African personal injury cases. If the key variables utilized in foreign statistical databases are not identified and properly understood, then this can result in inaccurate settlements for cases”.
It is for this reason that SIMI Healthcare Solutions (through its subsidiary SIMI Media) and SHA Inc have partnered together to host the “Life Expectancy Symposium – Personal Injury Claims: The Big Questions”. The symposium brings together, under one roof, international and local practitioners in personal injury litigation, doctors, insurers, therapists and other health professionals, in addition to statisticians, actuaries, case managers and government officials.
