Road Accident Fund (RAF) Claims

We have over 20 years of experience helping thousands of clients obtain the compensation they deserve on a “no-win, no-fee” basis.

At Boshoff Njokweni, we specialise in Road Accident Fund (RAF) claims and are dedicated to helping clients navigate the complexities of the RAF system. The RAF is a statutory entity designed to provide cover for “third parties” who suffer loss or damage resulting from bodily injury or death caused by negligent driving.

Our team brings a proven track record of successful outcomes and possesses in-depth knowledge of RAF procedures, timelines, and the documentation required to build a strong case. We work on a “no-win, no-fee” basis, meaning you are not liable for any of our fees or expenses if we are unsuccessful.

Our RAF services include:
Medical Expenses

We pursue claims for both current and future medical expenses incurred as a result of the accident.

Loss of Earnings
We assess and claim for past loss of income as well as diminished future earning capacity.
Pain & Suffering

We claim general damages for the physical pain, emotional shock, and suffering caused by your injuries.

Loss of Support

We assist with claims for dependents resulting from the tragic death of a breadwinner.

Case Evaluation & Strategy

We provide a comprehensive assessment of claim eligibility, medical reports, and financial impacts to craft a strong plan.

Litigation & Negotiation

We handle all proactive communication with the RAF and guide you through litigation if necessary to pursue fair compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I claim against the Road Accident Fund?

You can claim if you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident and the accident was not your fault. The RAF provides cover for “third parties” who suffer loss or damage resulting from bodily injury or death caused by negligent driving.

No. We work on a “no-win, no-fee” basis. Many of our RAF clients pay no upfront fees; you only pay when compensation is successfully obtained. We offer clear, transparent fee options with no hidden costs.

Because we work on a “no-win, no-fee” basis, if we are unsuccessful, you are not liable for any of our fees or expenses.

Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the case. However, we strive to expedite lodgements and maintain steady communication so you are never left without an update.

To start, we generally need basic accident details, medical reports, treatment costs, employment information, and any police or incident reports. We will assist you in assembling all required documentation.

If a claim is rejected, we review the reasons for the rejection and explore options for alternative compensation avenues so you have a clear path forward.
