What is a Road Accident Fund (RAF) claim?

A Road Accident Fund (RAF) claim is a claim for compensation available to people injured in a motor vehicle accident caused by another party’s negligence, or to dependants of a deceased victim. Compensation may include medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering and funeral costs.

Who qualifies to claim from the RAF?

Drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists and dependants of deceased victims may qualify to claim, provided the accident was caused by another party’s negligence.

Is there a time limit for RAF claims?

Yes. Claims generally must be lodged within three years if the responsible driver is known and within two years for hit-and-run accidents. Different rules may apply to minors and certain exceptional cases.

How can Simpsons Attorneys assist with a RAF claim?

Simpsons Attorneys assists clients by assessing eligibility, gathering supporting documentation, ensuring compliance with deadlines, lodging the claim correctly and providing representation during negotiations or litigation if required.

Do I need an attorney to submit a RAF claim?

While it is possible to submit a claim independently, RAF claims can be complex. Legal assistance helps ensure the claim is properly prepared and maximises the chance of fair compensation.
