Jordaan v Road Accident Fund (2022/03746) [2023] ZAGPJHC 1260 (3 October 2023)
In Jordaan v Road Accident Fund, the plaintiff, Jeanine Maria Jordaan, claimed damages
arising from a motor vehicle accident that occurred on 5 May 2018. She sought
compensation for her own injuries and for the loss of support suffered by her two minor
children following the death of the family's breadwinner. The RAF accepted liability for the
accident by conceding that the negligence of its insured driver was the sole cause.1
Initially, the plaintiff’s particulars of claim indicated a total claim of R2.3 million for personal
injuries and loss of support. However, a day before the default judgment hearing, the plaintiff
served a Rule 28 notice to amend the quantum claimed to R8.85 million. The revised claim
included R5 million for past and future medical expenses, loss of earnings, and general
damages, and R3.8 million for loss of support.1
