What You Need to Know Before Filing a RAF Claim in South Africa

Home - Blog Detail

Being injured in a road accident can turn your life upside down—physically, emotionally, and financially. Fortunately, the Road Accident Fund (RAF) exists to compensate victims of motor vehicle accidents.

Before you file a claim, here are a few key points to keep in mind:

  • You must file within 3 years of the date of the accident (if you know who caused it), or within 2 years for hit-and-run cases.

  • Keep all medical records, police reports, and receipts—they’re essential for supporting your claim.

  • Claims can take time. Having a lawyer ensures proper documentation, fair assessment, and faster processing.

If you’re unsure where to begin, contact our firm for a free consultation. We’ll guide you through every step with care and experience.
