YES! – However, a claim can only be settled or go on trial after all required documents are obtained and provided to the Road Accident Fund (“RAF”). These documents include : proof of the accident, proof of medical treatment, proof of damages and the various specialist doctor’s reports.
A settlement offer can be proposed either by the RAF or by your attorney, and either party can respond to the settlement offer by making a counter proposal by the other party.
Your attorney is legally required to inform you of any settlement offer be made by the RAF, and to discuss that offer with you before accepting or rejecting that offer.
The above is intended for information purposes only and is not intended, and should not be regarded, as legal advice. Should you require legal advice, kindly contact us to schedule a consultation with one of our panel attorneys.
