Being involved in a road accident can be a traumatic and life-altering experience, often leaving victims with serious injuries, emotional distress, and financial burdens. At M Mativandlela Attorneys Inc, we are committed to guiding you through the process of claiming compensation from the Road Accident Fund (RAF) with professionalism, empathy, and diligence.

What is the Road Accident Fund (RAF)?

The Road Accident Fund is a public entity in South Africa that provides compensation to individuals who are injured, or to the dependants of those killed, in motor vehicle accidents caused by negligent driving. Claims can be made for a variety of damages, including:

• Medical expenses (past and future)

• Loss of income or earning capacity

• Funeral costs (in the case of a fatal accident)

• Loss of support (for dependants of a deceased breadwinner)

• General damages for pain, suffering, and disfigurement (if injuries are serious)
