RAF will pay man millions

AFTER a devastating accident, a pedestrian will receive R2.6 million in compensation from the Road Accident Fund for permanent cognitive and behavioural changes.

The compensation was awarded for the past and future loss of earnings for the man who was 28 years old at the time of the accident. He was a pedestrian when knocked by a vehicle on 15 September 2019.

At the time, the man had secured employment in Stikland, where he held the position of a general worker since 2017, having assisted in repairing traffic lights that were out of order and required new globes.
