Road Accident Claims

The Road Accident Fund (“RAF”) is a body established by an Act of Parliament, namely, the Road Accident Fund Act.

The Road Accident Fund provides compulsory cover to all users of South African roads (by way of fuel tax), resident or foreigner, against injuries sustained or death arising from accidents involving motor vehicles within the borders of South Africa. This cover is in the form of indemnity insurance to persons who cause the accident, as well as personal injury and death insurance to victims of motor vehicle accidents and their families.

The compensation provided by the Road Accident Fund is an attempt to re-integrate victims of road accidents into society from a health and economic perspective, and to protect wrongdoers and their families from financial ruin. This is done by paying the medical and related services costs required to restore accident victims to health, compensating the victims or their families for income or support lost as a result of the accident and indemnifying the wrongdoer from liability. In addition, the Road Accident Fund pays general damages to accident victims, which represents compensation for pain and suffering, loss of amenities of life, disability and disfigurement, as well as funeral costs to families in circumstances where the victim of the accident sustains fatal injuries.

We are able to provide assistance to individuals needing to obtain payment of compensation from the Road Accident Fund for loss or damage caused by the wrongful and negligent driving of a road user. Our services include assisting clients on a Contingency Fee basis (No Win – No Fee basis), in the event that they meet certain criteria, as determined by ourselves.

Services in this area of law include: –

Consultation and Appointment as Attorneys of Record
Obtaining relevant Legal Documentation
Lodgement of Claim with Road Accident Fund
Obtaining Expert Evidence
Negotiations with Road Accident Fund on Settlement
Proceeding to trial in the event of no settlement being reached

Medical Negligence and Personal Injury Claims

Damages can be claimed arising from a myriad of mishaps and incidences caused by the negligent act or omission of another person or legal entity.

Claims may be instituted arising from the following examples: –

Medical Malpractice (medical negligence, improper care leading to ill health or death, botched surgeries)
Slip and Fall
Dog Bites
Assault Claims
Negligent acts or omissions leading to personal injury

As with Road Accident Fund claims, some personal injury claims may be dealt with on a Contingency Fee basis.
