UPA focuses on servicing the needs and attaining all accident information about a claimant’s case to provide an informed decision about the chances of success. Our no win , no fee basis applies and we pride ourselves on impeccable results yielding higher claim amounts for clients. We do not settle for what we have been offered by the Road Accident Fund but seek to establish that the payout is fair and just to our clients needs.

We evaluate our clients success ratio based on the injuries sustained which according to the American Medical Association Guidelines (AMA) should result in serious injury of 30% or more and if not then the narrative test will be applicable. We also consider whether the claimant was employed at the time of the accident which effectively results in a loss of income claim.

If you were a dependent on the deceased who died in a car accident and the deceased was not the cause of the accident you can have a claim against the Road Accident Fund irrespective of a loss of support claim.

What you need to know:

Have you had an accident within the last 3 years? Has the driver of the vehicle been identified? If not , then you have 2 years to lodge the matter with the Road Accident Fund.
