If you were injured, or lost a breadwinner, in a road accident in South Africa, you may be able to claim from the Road Accident Fund under the Road Accident Fund Act 56 of 1996. Claims have strict time limits: generally three years from the accident where the driver is known, and two years for hit-and-run cases. Many RAF lawyers work on a contingency fee, which is capped by the Contingency Fees Act.
Claims of up to R200,000 can go to the district magistrate's court and up to R400,000 to the Regional Court. Larger claims are brought in the High Court. For Thohoyandou that is the Limpopo Division of the High Court, which sits in Thohoyandou. Thohoyandou has its own magistrate's court, the Thohoyandou Magistrate's Court.
Usually three years from the date of the accident if the vehicle owner or driver is identified, and two years if they are not. Missing the deadline can end your claim.
A 'no win, no fee' agreement. Under the Contingency Fees Act 66 of 1997 the fee is capped, and the agreement must be in writing. Read it carefully before signing.
