A Pietermaritzburg High Court acting judge ordered the Road Accident Fund (RAF) to pay a security company branch manager R8,908,500 for loss of earnings and future medical expenses following a traumatic motor vehicle collision.
Ravesh Maharaj, 38, who is employed at Fidelity Security, brought an application against the RAF after one of its insured vehicles drove into the back of his vehicle in October 2019.
According to the court papers, an agreement was reached at the pre-trial stage that the RAF was liable for 100% of Maharaj’s proven or agreed damages.
The only issue that remained was to determine Maharaj’s claim for loss of earnings and earning capacity, as well as future medical expenses.
