Anyone injured or dependent on someone who died as a result of a motor vehicle accident in South Africa can claim from the RAF. This includes:
Drivers, passengers, and pedestrians involved in the accident.
Cyclists and motorcyclists.
Dependents of deceased victims, such as spouses, children, or other financial dependents, can claim for loss of support.
Foreigners involved in accidents within South Africa.
The RAF compensates for medical expenses, loss of income, funeral costs, and general damages in cases of serious injury. However, drivers solely responsible for the accident due to negligence cannot make claims.
