DU will also have to compensate the injured NG for 2,500 EUR for non-pecuniary damage, pay 1,972.60 EUR to the Klaipėda Territorial Health Insurance Fund and cover the costs of the procedures incurred by the State in the amount of 506.50 EUR.
The case found that DU struck NG’s back as he skidded backwards, striking the victim on the ice, causing a minor health concern.
DU did not admit guilt in this incident and proved that NG was at fault, because if the victim had not stood up, she would not have been hit; although he skidded backwards, the speed was not high, moreover, he looked over his shoulder while skating, he just couldn’t see the victim.
However, the court, after evaluating the evidence gathered in the case and examined at the hearing, ruled that DU’s guilt had been established. According to the court, before skating backwards, the defendant had to ensure that it was safe to do so and that this method of skating would not endanger other ice skaters. DU was not careful and caring, that is, he underestimated his reverse skating skills, he was not convinced that it would be safe to skate this way, he chose this particular skating method, he did not see the victim and meet him.
When imposing the sentence, the court took into account the degree of danger of the crime committed, the nature, the form of guilt, the personality of the accused – DU committed a crime by consummated negligence against human health (criminal negligence), previously illegal, administrative punished, married. A mitigating circumstance of the responsibility of the accused DU and the absence of aggravating circumstances were also taken into account.
The judgment can be appealed within twenty days from the date of its pronouncement by filing an appeal with the Klaipėda Regional Court through the Klaipėda City Council of the Klaipėda District Court.
