The Road Accident Fund (RAF) is an organ of the State created to compensate the injured or affected victims of road accidents.
When any person is injured or killed in a motor vehicle accident due to the negligent driving of another person in South Africa, the injured person or dependents will be able to claim compensation.
An accident can happen at any time and could have devastating consequences to the lives of the persons who were injured or whose dependents were left behind.
As specialist attorneys in this field, Ehlers Attorneys may not be able to turn back time, but with years of experience, we will be able to ensure that fair compensation is paid by the Road Accident Fund.
