What is a Third Party Claim in a Motor Vehicle Accident?
A third party claim is a claim by a person, or the dependants of a person, who suffered a bodily injury or who died as a result of a motor vehicle accident caused by the negligent driving of a motor vehicle. Third party claims are made to the Road Accident Fund, which then automatically steps into the shoes of the negligent driver who caused the accident and pays the injured person for any injuries suffered.
