Following a road accident, one of the most important decisions youβll need to make is which attorney (lawyer) to appoint to represent your case. The attorney and law firm are the team that will take your claim from beginning through to cash in the bank.
Imagine getting a property lawyer helping you fight a case of unfair dismissal against your employer. Or a business lawyer helping with a divorce case. The same thing applies with Road Accident Fund claims. The practice of third-party litigation (RAF claims) is a specialist area of law.
Whatβs more is that a firm which is good at claiming on behalf of child dependents might not be good at claiming for head injuries. A Johannesburg firm might not be able to properly service clients from KZN. And the list goes on.
Unfortunately, not all firms are well set up to get the best results for their Road Accident Fund clients.
It can be convenient going to the lawyer closest to where you stay. It can feel comforting appointing the attorney that your neighbor recommended. It can feel reassuring going to the firm with the flashy office building. But none of these is likely to be the best choice for you.
It is not easy to tell a good attorney from a bad one based a quick meeting or introduction.

The Road Accident Fund is a state-supported insurance fund in South Africa that provides compensation to victims of road accidents. A specialized RAF attorney is needed because RAF claims involve specific legal knowledge and expertise.
Look for an attorney with specialist experience in RAF cases, a track record of winning large claims, access to efficient courts and medical experts, ethical practice, and strong communication skills. Avoid choosing based solely on convenience or recommendations without researching the attorney’s qualifications and experience in RAF claims.
A competent RAF attorney should have expertise in RAF cases, a successful claim history, a well-staffed support team, access to top courts and medical experts, a clean ethical record, insurance against fund misappropriation, trustworthiness, fair pricing, and excellent communication skills.
Choosing the right attorney is crucial as the wrong choice can cost you significantly in terms of potential compensation and add unnecessary delays to your claim process.
