Cassation Court confirms school injury compensation
The Court of Cassation upheld a ruling awarding a girl financial compensation of 16,976 dinars after she was injured inside a government school in Mafraq as a result of a school door falling on her during official hours. The injury caused two fractures in her pelvis, a permanent disability of 30%, and a deviation in her left lower limb when walking. Medical reports indicated that the incident led to her injury and required three months for recovery. They also confirmed that the school was responsible due to its neglect in maintaining the door and neglecting safety measures, which led the court to order compensation for a 15% reduction in her future capabilities starting from age 23 until 55, based on the minimum wage. The court rejected additional claims, such as treatment costs and lost wages, due to the lack of receipts and because the girl was not employed at the time of the accident.
