Who can claim from the Road Accident Fund?

Drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists can all claim from the Road Accident Fund, as long as they were not entirely responsible for the accident.

The fund provides cover for both South Africans and foreigners involved in accidents on South African roads.

You can claim from the RAF if:

you were injured in an accident and were not the driver solely responsible for the accident, you’re the driver responsible for the accident but not the owner of the vehicle, and the accident was a result of the owner’s negligence (for example, because the owner failed to replace worn brake pads on the vehicle), you’re a child, spouse or other person who was dependent on the income of a person killed in an accident; for more information, you’re a close relative of the deceased and paid for this person’s funeral.

You cannot claim from the RAF if:

you were the driver and are the owner of the vehicle solely responsible for the accident, you were the only person involved in the accident (for example, you were injured because you crashed your vehicle into a tree or other obstacle, and nothing else, such as badly maintained roads, contributed to the accident).
