Cape Town - Lawyers and the Road Accident Fund (RAF) are at loggerheads over allegations that 180 000 claims remain unpaid, leaving victims in dire straits â a claim denied by the RAF.
Personal Injury Plaintiff Lawyers Association chairperson advocate Justin Erasmus said the RAF must adhere to the orders given by the courts, saying the situation was dire in 2020, but now it had deteriorated even further.
Erasmus said the RAF may be telling the courts that all claims over 180 days have been settled, but that was simply not the case.
