Five Common Myths About Road Accident Fund Claims

The Road Accident Fund (RAF) provides crucial financial relief to those impacted by motor vehicle accidents. However, misconceptions about the claims process often prevent people from seeking the compensation they deserve. Let’s bust five common myths about RAF claims:

1. “You Can Only Claim If You Were Driving”

Fact: Passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists injured in motor vehicle accidents can also claim from the RAF.

2. “You Must Pay Huge Legal Fees”

Fact: At Stefan Greyling Inc., we work on a no-win-no-fee basis. We carry the costs until your claim is finalised, ensuring legal support is accessible.

3. “The Process Is Quick and Simple”

Fact: The RAF claims process is complex, requiring extensive documentation and expert reports. Our team helps streamline the process, saving you time and stress.

4. “If You Claimed Once, You Can Claim Again”

Fact: The RAF follows the once-and-for-all rule. You must claim for all damages upfront, as no further claims will be accepted later.

5. “Only Serious Injuries Qualify”

Fact: While compensation for general damages is limited to serious injuries, claims for medical expenses and loss of income are not restricted by injury severity.
