Victory Achieved in Settlement of R903,000.00

updated: 05-Apr-17

South Africa has a Road Accident Fund (RAF) to compensate victims of road accidents. The RAF however does not pay fair compensation when members of the public approach them directly. This is where lawyers step in to protect the rights of the innocent public and ensure that they are properly compensated for their injuries sustained in accidents. The best lawyers for this type of legal assistance is de Broglio Attorneys Inc. They have been suing the RAF for over 22 years and have helped thousands of people get the compensation they deserve.

At de Broglio Attorneys Inc. the client comes first. The firm is dedicated to delivering excellent service to their clients and to settling their claims for the highest possible amounts. Dino Buthelezi* is a client of de Broglio Attorneys Inc. who can testify of this.

Dino was a passenger involved in a motor vehicle accident. He didn’t know about the RAF until one day when he was listening to the radio. He said, “I heard the advert on the radio from de Broglio and then I phoned them and they arranged a consultation with me.”

In Dino’s case, de Broglio Attorneys Inc. were able to increase the initial offer made to them by the RAF. The RAF made an offer of R500,000.00 for General Damages which de Broglio Attorneys Inc. increased to R600,000.00. Further, the RAF refused to litigate because of the Workmen’s Compensation Commissioner matter but de Broglio Attorneys Inc. managed to get his matter settled despite the obstructive actions of the RAF.

It takes legal expertize and know-how to be able to negotiate with the RAF. Entrust your RAF claim to de Broglio Attorneys Inc. and be rest assured that your claim will be in the best legal hands in South Africa. 

As Dino said, “It has been a pleasure to work with great experts. After a long time my road accident fund claim was settled for a reasonable amount, I thank all the experts who worked laboriously and their patience. Keep up the good work!”

Dino’s RAF claim was successfully settled by de Broglio Attorneys Inc. in the North Gauteng High Court for the fantastic amount of R903,000.00.

“I’m happy with the settlement”, Dino said. “The service was fantastic. They informed me of everything that was going on in my case. Nothing will stop me to recommend them to my friends if they are in a car accident.”
