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.
