Yakutsk Student's Severe Injuries in PE Class Leads to Legal Battle
A 4th grade student in Yakutsk suffered severe injuries during a physical education class, leading to a legal battle over damages. The Yakutsk Prosecutor's Office initially sought compensation but appealed for higher moral damages.
The student fell and sustained multiple fractures of the thoracic spine. The Yakutsk City Court initially ordered the school to pay 350,000 rubles in moral damages and 15,000 rubles in material damages. The Prosecutor's Office argued this amount was insufficient and appealed. The Supreme Court of Yakutia upheld the appeal, increasing the moral damages to 500,000 rubles.
The Supreme Court's decision has increased the moral damages to 500,000 rubles, reflecting the severity of the student's injuries. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of safety in educational institutions.
