It is not mandatory for an individual to appoint a road accident fund lawyer, however, it is advisable to seek out the guidance of one. Adams and Adams RAF attorneys have seen, and been involved, in many cases where the road accident fund (RAF) either under-settles matters and provides unjust and inequitable compensation, or they take many years to finalise and pay out.

This is often due to the RAF not conducting the necessary, and extensive, investigation of the injuries sustained and the incident itself to make a fair call on compensation.

The benefits of having a RAF lawyer to assist with RAF claims is that they will ensure fair compensation within a reasonable period of time, whilst giving individuals the legal guidance to ensure a smoother experience throughout the process.
