You were injured in a road accident or are preparing documents for a dependant or death claim.
You need to gather documents before lodging or discussing a RAF claim.
Not For
- Advice on claim value, negligence, apportionment, prescription, serious-injury assessment strategy, or settlement offers.
- Urgent medical, police, or emergency steps immediately after a crash.
Documents
- ID document
- RAF claim form
- Accident report and case number
- Medical records and reports
- Medical invoices and proof of payment
- Proof of income or support
- Witness details
- Photos
- Death and dependency records if applicable
Timeline
- Immediately: preserve accident, police, witness, and medical evidence.
- Before lodging: complete forms and collect supporting documents.
- After lodging: keep proof of submission and respond to RAF requests.
- Before settlement: review medical, earnings, and future-loss evidence with a lawyer.
Tips
- Keep every invoice and proof of payment, even small expenses.
- Write symptoms and treatment dates while they are fresh.
- Do not rely on RAF to collect every supporting document for you.
- Ask a lawyer about prescription before waiting for all medical treatment to finish.
Warning Signs
- The accident was a hit-and-run or the driver is unidentified.
- The crash date is old or the deadline is unclear.
- There are serious injuries, future care needs, permanent impairment, or lost income.
