| Any victim who sustained a bodily injury or
suffered loss due to such injury or the death of a person, which resulted
from a road accident and the negligence of someone else whilst traveling in
the borders of South Africa, may lodge a claim for compensation to the Road
Accident Fund (“RAF”,a state controlled fund in South Africa). Dependants of
a deceased victim may lodge claims for loss of support suffered and recover
funeral expenses. Various categories of road users are compensated as
victims of road accidents, including drivers, passengers, cyclists and
pedestrians. The amounts paid by the RAF in respect of these claims are
dependant on a number of different circumstances and criteria and are often
settled only after a process of litigation has followed.
If during the duration of cover under the TOURMED Policy you or any
person that is insured under your policy is involved in any motor accident
in South Africa, you may be entitled to submit a claim to the RAF for
compensation. TOURMED will provide the assistance, guidance and advice on
the procedure to submit such a claim and may after consultation with you,
and if you so wish, attend to the processing and monitoring of the claim
until it is settled.
This additional benefit is provided by our TOURMED ‘RoadClaim’ Department
who have a thorough understanding of the process to be followed with
launching a claim to the Road Accident Fund.
