The impact of these deaths or injuries can have a catastrophic effect in terms of physical, emotional and financial loss for both the victim and the victim’s family. Thankfully, we do have support in the form of the Road Accident Fund (RAF) which provides compulsory cover for all users of South African roads against such road accident deaths or injuries. The problem is that injured victims, or the families of those that have died, are faced with huge challenges when processing a claim with the RAF at a time when they can ill afford this additional stress. Furthermore, the RAF claims process can be extremely costly, time consuming and complicated which makes getting compensation very difficult. Accident Alert service includes: Your membership must be fully paid up at the time of the incident. • an effective RAF claims management service with 100% of any pay out being passed straight back to you The Accident Alert service is only available for accidents that occur in the Republic of South Africa. • full legal and medical assistance to assess the merits of your case • full administrative support and documentation preparation for your claims submission • an assessment of the medical expenses incurred as a direct result of your injury • further legal and medical support to ensure you have all the necessary consultations and reports needed to support your claim • representation when dealing with the RAF Altech Netstar (Pty) Ltd Company Reg.

If this is in conflict with your view or there is a material conflict between your assessment and their legal practitioner’s assessment, the case will be referred to the Accident Protect Advisory Panel for review. The decision of the Accident Alert Advisory Panel will be final and binding on all the parties. The Accident Alert Advisory Panel will consist of the Accident Alert legal advisor and two external independent legal advisors. Accident Alert will not be responsible for any costs incurred in referring your case to the Panel.

No. 1992/001223/07 | ©Altech Netstar (Pty) Ltd 2013, 2014, 2015 The Fines Alert service is limited to traffic fines issued within the Republic of South Africa. Fines are said to be ‘issued’ once they are posted onto www.paycity.co.za or www.viewfines.co.za and therefore Fines Protect can only check and notify clients of fines that are posted onto these websites. Other fines that are not posted onto these websites can be dealt with by Fines Protect, but Fines Protect must be notified of these by the client before service can commence. At the time of the fine, you must comply with all the legal and regulatory requirements of the Roads Acts of South Africa and other such relevant legislation. Fines Alert does not guarantee the performance of the traffic department and does not include Aarto de-merit points reductions. Our member benefit rules apply to all these benefits.
