Road Accident Fund (RAF) Claims
Claim the compensation you are entitled to.
Every year thousands of South Africans are injured in road accidents without realising they are entitled to claim compensation from the Road Accident Fund (RAF). At MSI Attorneys, we help accident victims across Midrand and Gauteng claim what they are legally owed — for injuries, loss of income, medical expenses and more.
You do not need to have been the driver to claim. Passengers, pedestrians and cyclists are all eligible, and you can claim even if the responsible driver was never identified. Strict deadlines apply, so it is important to act promptly. We manage your claim from start to finish so you can focus on recovering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can claim from the Road Accident Fund?
Drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists and the dependants of someone killed in a road accident can all claim — even if the responsible driver was never identified. You do not need to have been at fault.
How long do I have to lodge an RAF claim?
Generally you have three years from the date of the accident to lodge a claim, though shorter deadlines apply to hit-and-run matters. Because these deadlines are strict, it is best to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
