Perguntas frequentes

Quem pode pedir indemnização ao Road Accident Fund?

Qualquer pessoa ferida na África do Sul num acidente rodoviário causado por um veículo motorizado, incluindo passageiros, peões e ciclistas. Familiares que dependiam de alguém morto num acidente também podem pedir.

Quanto tempo tenho para pedir ao RAF?

Normalmente 3 anos a contar da data do acidente, ou 2 anos se o veículo e o condutor não foram identificados. Podem aplicar-se regras diferentes a crianças.

O que é negligência médica?

Quando um médico, enfermeiro, clínica ou hospital presta cuidados abaixo do padrão esperado e isso causa danos, por exemplo um erro durante uma cirurgia ou parto, ou um diagnóstico falhado.

Usar a Ubulungisa tem algum custo?

Não. O verificador é gratuito e falar com o advogado é gratuito. Muitos advogados trabalham com honorários condicionados ao sucesso, que têm de lhe explicar por escrito antes de assinar qualquer coisa.

Os meus dados vão ser partilhados?

Só se pedir para ser contactado e der o seu consentimento. Nesse caso vão para uma única firma de advogados parceira, e mais ninguém.
