What to do in a serious accident

ROAD users are daily victims of car accidents on South African roads, sustaining injuries and suffering loss of life – a harsh reality that many have to face.

Along with the tragedy comes a lot of responsibility from calling the police, recounting the events that took place for police reports, damaged vehicle costs and possible loss of life – or injuries in general.

Accidents are daunting and the admin can be overwhelming and time-consuming – especially without the assistance or knowing what you can or can’t claim for. To make sure that in the midst of all the chaos you have less to worry about, vehicle recovery solutions can, in fact, be the answer.

Some providers offer you value-added services that can assist you with all the post-crash admin. As part of such solutions, your vehicle recovery technology provider can take care of a number of aspects with regards to your claims management process including legal representation, and even accident reconstruction to determine how the accident happened.

With that said, taking the steps now to invest in such solutions will help ensure that you have all the help you need to make the process as manageable as possible, leaving no stone unturned and allowing you to focus on your everyday life instead of the admin.

So, next time you are on the hunt for a vehicle recovery solution, look for service providers that offer accident assist for those unexpected curveballs that life throws your way. That way, if you find yourself in a road accident, where injuries and damages are sustained, you have immediate access to the Road Accident Fund (RAF) claims management system, ensuring a 100 per cent recovery payback.
