So many people in South Africa have been affected by motor vehicle accidents. From drunk driving to reckless driving and pedestrian accidents, South African roads can be perilous, and accidents are all too common. You may have read the headlines of fellow South Africans who have successfully claimed from the Road Accident Fund and received their pay-outs.
Who can claim for an RAF Pay-Out?
- Parties who sustain bodily injuries as a result of a motor vehicle accident
- Families who have lost the sole breadwinner and therefore their financial support
- Injured minors who have had to receive medical treatments as a result
- Damages caused by the negligent driving of a motor vehicle
- Injury or death caused by a motor vehicle collision
Examples of RAF Claims
- Pedestrians knocked down by motor vehicles
- Passengers in a motor vehicle that was negligently driven
- Passenger or driver injured or killed by another driver who was driving their vehicle recklessly
When it is finally your day in court, even once you have received your settlement agreement there is still a painfully long waiting period until you actually receive your RAF payment. At this point in the claims process, most RAF attorneys will start receiving calls from their clients asking, “what is the status of my RAF claim?”
The RAF is struggling with cash flow problems so often RAF claimants must wait up to 180 days to receive their pay-out, sometimes longer. The red tape and poor communication on the part of the Road Accident Funds means that most of the time not even your RAF attorney will be able to give you a clear answer on RAF claim status. Obviously, this is very distressing and frustrating.
Without a clear answer on your RAF claim status check, the best way to relieve the stress and financial strain of waiting for your RAF payment is by applying for an RAF cash loan. If you have your signed court order and an attorney representing you, send through your documentation and receive payment within 24 hours for immediate relief.
