He sustained a severe fracture of the pelvis with dislocation of the right hemi pelvis through the symphysis pubis and sacro-iliac joint. Two days thereafter, he was transferred to Cuyler Clinic in Uitenhage where an attempt was made to perform an open reduction on the fractured pelvis. He remained on crutches for two months after discharge from hospital. According to Dr Forgus the injuries sustained by the plaintiff in the collision resulted in him being left with a permanent limp on the right side; the right leg is three centimetres shorter than the left leg. Dr Forgus' opinion was that the plaintiff should not play active sports, jog and carry heavy weights (more than 10kg) in future. One and a half years after the collision the plaintiff's sacro-iliac joint and symphysis had not fused and resulted in instability of the joint. Regarding pain and suffering Dr Forgus testified that the plaintiff would have experienced severe pain for three to four weeks after the collision whereafter the pain would diminish over the next three to four weeks. He further opined that although the plaintiff was 18% physically impaired, he could remain employable in his semi-skilled job description to the age of 50 years, whereafter his capacity to compensate for his impairments will diminish so that he will need to delegate all tasks involving heavy-weight bearing activities. Two further medico-legal reports prepared by him which form part of the record confirm the contents of his first report save that when the plaintiff consulted with him on a second occasion (18 July 2006) the stiffness on the right hip had improved. In the report Dr Holmes gives an opinion on the plaintiff's future prospects of employment and/or income earning capacity. His view was that although the plaintiff was only 22 years old at the time of the accident, it can be reasonably assumed that, but for the accident or any other unforeseen circumstances, the plaintiff would have become a competitor in the open labour market as a semi-skilled worker (or work seeker), performing duties requiring extensive physical activity, including standing, walking, bending and driving. The plaintiff relies on awards made in the following cases:minor injuries. President Versekerinqsmaatskappy v Mathews in which the plaintiff, a farmer, aged 53 at the time, sustained a fracture of his left hip, a serious fracture of his hemi pelvis injuries to his eye and certain internal injuries. There was a shortening of his left leg of about 3cm and further rheumatism in the hip joint was indicated. It was anticipated that hip replacement surgery would be required. As a result surgery in the form of an open reduction and internal fixation was undertaken as well as traction for a period of about three weeks. She was in a hospital for six weeks and thereafter required to ambulate with crutches for about ten months. As a result, she sustained severe pain as well as disfigurement and her working life was expected to be curtailed. On the other hand, the plaintiffs in the Hendricks and Hartzenberg cases appear to have sustained more serious injuries than the plaintiff in this case.
