Mr. J.A, 34 year old pedestrian suffered a femur injury. The Road Accident Fund (RAF) repudiates his claim refusing to pay anything alleging the incident was completely his fault. Mr. J.A lost his job and had to depend on social grant and his elderly mother in order to survive. He gave up all hope as the RAF was adamant that as he had been drinking, he was not entitled to any payout. The matter proceeds to trial on liability and Fund ordered to make compensation with appropriate adjustment due to client’s own negligence. At quantum trial, the quantum settles for a million. Mr. J.A looks forward to a new lease on life, purchasing industrial machinery to start a small home business
