The Road Accident Fund is a state-supported insurer that provides compensation for injuries or death arising from motor vehicle accidents on South African roads. It covers both South African citizens and foreign nationals involved in accidents within the country.

RAF claims fall under personal injury law and are often referred to as MVA claims, road accident claims, or third-party injury claims.
