Road Accident Fund Claims
Is the road accident fund broke?
The Road Accident Fund has recorded a R3.2-billion surplus, for the period ending March 2021, said Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula, who described the surplus as ‘historic’. Daily Maverick, June 2021.
A claim against the Road Accident Fund can be instituted on behalf of a person who’s family bread winner passed away as a result of an accident and secondly, for personal injury (i.e. when you suffered serious injuries to your body and the injury has a effect on your income earning capacity).
The Heads of Damages that you can claim for are, financial loss of support, funeral costs, Past and Future Loss of Earnings, Past and Future Medical Expenses and General Damages. Arrange a consultation via the channels below, or by giving us a call, to discuss which head(s) of damages might apply to you.
It is important to remember the general rule of prescription, which means that a you have 3 years to claim against the Road Accident Fund if you know who the person responsible for the accident is, and two years if you don’t know who the responsible person is.

Combrink was so committed to getting us the best possible settlement. We will recommend him as far as we go for matters against the RAF. Thank you Combrink, you have changed our lives.
