RAF Claim Assessment

We will assess your matter and determine the best way to proceed with your claim.

When you come to GCM Legal for your Road Accident Fund (“RAF”) Claim, we will first assess your RAF claim.

We will determine how much information there is in respect of the claim … and how much more information we will need to make your claim as strong as possible.

To assess your claim we will need as much information as you have regarding the accident; the injuries; the losses suffered; witnesses, etc.

We will need to discuss the matter with you:

We can meet at our offices in Johannesburg.
