If a matatu hits you and the owner won't pay, you have options. Immani lets you file a dispute against their phone number for KSh 100. This is a faster, simpler alternative to going to court or waiting for the police to act. Why this happens: Matatu owners often don't want to pay for damages or injuries they cause, hoping you'll just go away. But you have rights under Kenyan law. The Small Claims Court Act and the Consumer Protection Act require businesses to compensate consumers for harm caused. How Immani works in this specific context:

1. You file a dispute against the matatu owner's phone number on Immani for KSh 100.
2. Both you and the matatu owner are notified immediately.
3. You have a short private window to respond and engage directly.
4. If there is no response, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up that phone number within Immani.
5. The dispute only closes when both sides confirm they have engaged and reached an understanding.

What Happens Next?

After you file the dispute, Immani will notify the matatu owner and give them a chance to respond. If they don't respond, the dispute will become public, which often prompts a response. Once you've reached an understanding, you can close the dispute on Immani. Immani and Immani Legal AI are not law firms and do not provide legal advice.
