WHAT IS A THIRD PARTY CLAIM?
A Road Accident Fund claim, also known as a third party claim, is a claim which can be instituted to recover compensation on behalf of any person who suffered damage as a result of bodily injury, or death as a result of a motor vehicle collision. Parties which can claim are:
1. A party who sustains bodily injuries in a Motor Vehicle Accident.
2. When a breadwinner of a family is killed then the widow and the children are the persons who suffered damage by way of the loss of support of the breadwinner.
3. Where a minor is injured and has to receive medical treatment. In this case the parent would be the claimant in respect of the medical cost incurred because they are the person who had to pay for such costs and therefore has suffered damages
