The Road Accident Fund (“RAF”) , is a body that provides compensation to persons in respect of any loss or damage resulting from any bodily injury to or death of any person caused by or arising from the driving of a motor vehicle.

The third party claiming from the RAF must prove negligence on the part of the other driver involved in the accident to be successful in his/her claim. In the event that you are not to blame for a motor vehicle accident and you were injured as a result of such accident , you are able to claim from the RAF, subject to the limitations and provisions of the Road Accident Fund Act.
