Road Accident Fund Claims
A RAF claim is also called a third party claim. It is a claim for compensation resulting from personal injury, or the death of a breadwinner, in a motor vehicle accident. A third party claim only relates to bodily injuries, and accordingly no claim for damage to a motor vehicle or other assets can be claimed from the RAF. Let our expert Adams & Adams RAF attorneys assist with all aspects of your RAF claim.
- A person who was personally injured (except a driver whose negligence was the sole cause of the accident) including a claimant under the age of 18 years, provided he is assisted by a parent or legal guardian
- A dependant of a deceased victim.
