Frequently Asked Questions

Any person injured, or dependants of those killed, in a road accident caused by the negligence of another driver can claim from the RAF. This includes drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists.

You generally have 3 years from the date of the accident to submit a claim, but it is best to start as soon as possible to avoid delays and missing evidence.

You can claim for medical expenses, loss of income, funeral expenses, and general damages for pain and suffering. Our team will help you assess your full entitlements.

If we do not win your case, you pay nothing. Our fees are only due if your claim is successful. This ensures access to justice for everyone, regardless of financial means.

RAF claims typically take 12-24 months from filing to settlement, depending on case complexity and RAF processing times. We work to resolve your claim as efficiently as possible.
