Minsk Resident Fell Out of a Bus With a Baby Stroller, Then Won Court Case
The incident happened in October last year. The Minsk resident was exiting through the central doors of the bus, holding onto the handle of a baby stroller.
She tripped and fell between the bus and the curb. Along with her, the stroller with the baby also fell out of the salon.
Trying to protect the child from hitting the hard surface, the woman did not let go of the stroller until the last moment.
At that time, renovations were underway at the bus stop. As the court established, the cause of the fall was a trench along the bus stop: in the place where passengers were alighting, the road surface was completely absent.
It also turned out that the driver stopped the bus more than 30 centimeters from the edge of the sidewalk, without taking into account the absence of asphalt.
The court established that the driver violated the rules and did not ensure the safety of passengers during alighting.
The woman requested compensation for material damage and moral damage.
Determining the amount of compensation, the court took into account the nature of her suffering, the circumstances of the injury, as well as the gross negligence in the woman's own actions.
The defendant was ordered to pay 1000 rubles in moral damage compensation, material damage, and legal representation costs in favor of the Minsk resident.
