Death, although unfortunate, is a significant aspect of our daily existence. The passing of a family’s primary breadwinner can trigger financial distress. Nevertheless, it is important to note that if the breadwinner’s death occurs due to a motor vehicle accident, compensation can be sought from the Road Accident Fund.
The Road Accident Fund, also known as “RAF,” is a legal entity established by the Road Accident Fund Act No 56 of 1996. Its primary purpose is to provide compensation for losses or damages resulting from wrongful actions involving motor vehicles.
Navigating a claim with the Road Accident Fund can be complex. It is crucial not to delay lodging your claim, as there are time limitations that apply (prescription periods). We encourage you to reach out to our offices today and speak with one of our legal practitioners for any assistance you may require regarding your Road Accident Fund claim.
