Expert handling of Road Accident Fund claims to secure maximum compensation for injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents.
If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident anywhere in South Africa, you may be entitled to compensation from the Road Accident Fund (RAF) — for medical costs, loss of income, loss of support (in a fatal accident) and general damages for pain and suffering, regardless of who was at fault.
RAF claims are notoriously slow and document-heavy, and the Fund does not pay more than a properly substantiated claim proves it owes. We handle the full claim process: gathering medical and accident evidence, calculating and motivating the claim, negotiating with the RAF, and litigating where the Fund disputes liability or undervalues the claim.
There is a strict time limit — generally three years from the date of the accident — to lodge a RAF claim, and shorter internal deadlines can apply. We advise clients across Midrand, Halfway House, Kyalami and Gauteng to act as soon as possible after an accident, both for the claim and for their recovery.
Medical expenses (past and future), loss of earnings or earning capacity, loss of support for dependants in a fatal accident, and general damages for serious injuries — the exact heads of damage depend on the severity and nature of your injuries.
Contested RAF claims commonly take one to three years, sometimes longer for serious-injury claims requiring litigation. We keep clients realistically informed on timeline rather than promising a fast payout the Fund doesn’t deliver.
Yes — generally three years from the date of the accident, with a shorter window in some circumstances. Contact us as soon as possible after an accident so no deadline is missed.
