Who can claim from the Road Accident Fund

Who can claim?

 You can claim only if the accident was not all your fault. 

A dependant of a breadwinner can claim if the breadwinner was not entirely to blame for the accident. 

You can claim if you were a passenger in a car, taxi, bus, truck, bakkie or on a motorbike and suffered injuries in an accident. 

You cannot claim if you did not suffer any injuries in the accident. 

You may not be able to claim if the injuries suffered were not ‘serious’. 

If the deceased had no dependants, there may be no claim arising from his/her death.
