Browsing: Loss of Earnings

If you claim loss of income from the Road Accident Fund, you must prove that your earnings actually decreased because of the accident. The Mpumalanga High Court has reaffirmed that injury alone is not enough without clear evidence of real financial loss.

The High Court punished the RAF for ignoring court orders, striking out its defence and awarding over R1 million to a crash victim.

Matewos Lejure’s 2018 accident left him with lasting fractures and chronic pain. The Limpopo High Court awards him R1.76 million for lost earnings.
