Understanding RAF claims
Who can institute a Road Accident Fund claim?
RAF claims cover direct damages, such as medical expenses and loss of income, and general damages for pain and suffering, loss of amenities of life, disfigurement and emotional trauma. Where an injury's severity is in question, a Narrative Test assessment may be required.
RAF assessments and the Narrative TestInjured persons
Individuals who suffer serious bodily injuries in a motor vehicle accident may claim for the damages they have sustained.
Dependants
Where a breadwinner dies as a result of an accident, dependants who relied on them financially may claim for loss of support.
