Overview of Road Accident Fund Claims
The Road Accident Fund exists to compensate victims of road traffic collisions for medical costs, loss of income, and general damages where injury results from the driving of a motor vehicle.
A claim against the Road Accident Fund is governed by national legislation and statutory procedure.

Critical Timelines and Processes
Most claims must be instituted within three years from the date of the accident. Exceptions may apply to minors and to cases where the injury or the negligent cause was discovered later. Evidence degrades over time, witnesses can forget details, and official documents can become harder to obtain.
Road Accident Fund processing can be slow, which makes early intervention important to structure claims and to pursue interim relief when necessary.
Act Quickly:
Filing early protects evidence, witnesses, and access to interim payments.
