The Road Accident fund was ordered by the Western Cape High Court to reimburse a woman for laser treatment after she suffered horrific facial scars when a car plunged into her while she was jogging. The Road Accident Fund must reimburse a Kaapse vrou for the laser treatment she received to her face, as it was “horribly disfigured” when she was hit by a car while jogging in Hout Bay. The reconstructive surgeon who had operated on her face recommended laser treatment for the management of her severe scars. The court heard evidence from experts that the treatment not only helped her appearance but also her psychological well-being. The fund was ordered to pay her the R234 100 she had spent on the laser treatment.
