The
Road Accident Fund has published its RAF draft Amendment Bill for public
comment.
The Bill will allow the Minister of Transport to draw up a list of serious injuries sustained from accidents, which will then enable victims who suffer these injuries to qualify to receive money for damages.

The
draft bill also contains the introduction of a no-fault 30 day period.
RAF’s
Senior Manager Chris Willemse said the purpose of the amendments is to
facilitate faster claims payments and to reduce administration costs and to
make our services more accessible to claims.
"Some
of the amendments deal with fault and fault has been removed for an initial 30
day period in respect of clients for medical treatment and also for claims for
funeral expenses," Willemse added.
