Ayush Healthcare Provides Independent Reports and Impairment Ratings for Road Accident Fund (RAF) Claims

The Road Accident Fund (RAF) Claims have a special procedure to file for a claim. There is a prescribed statutory claim form which needs to be filled out. Please make note of the fact that Form 1 is to be used for claims arising before August 01, 2008. Similarly Form RAF1 should be used for claims filed after August 2008 onwards. The statutory claim form gives the information on the applicant, the parties involved in the accident, the amount claimed and of course, the date and the place of the accident. Just like school, college or any other, you need to also provide a medical certificate or a medical report from the doctor that treated you. This is needed in most cases as a proof of the medical treatment that you were undergoing due to the accident and proves to be a very important document while claiming a road accident fund. It is more necessary than you think it is. So be sure to check whether all your medical records are in order and are appropriately printed and stored by you.
