A judgment was handed down in the Klaipėda City Hall of the Klaip sentenciada District Court in a case in which Darius Urbonas was found guilty of seriously injuring a person through negligence.

He is sentenced to one year in prison with the obligation to work 80 hours without pay during the entire sentence in health care, social services or non-governmental organizations that serve the elderly, the disabled or other people in need. Urbonas will also have to compensate the victim Nikolajs Gulbickis with 2,500 euros for non-pecuniary damage, pay 1,972.60 euros to the Klaipėda Territorial Health Insurance Fund and cover the costs of the procedures incurred by the State for an amount of 506.50 euros.

In the case, it was established that D. Urbonas, while skating backwards, collided with N. Gulbickij’s back, hitting the victim on the ice and causing a serious health disorder.

Urbon did not admit guilt in this incident and proved that it was Gulbicki’s fault, because if the victim had not stood up, she would not have been beaten; 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, after evaluating the evidence gathered in the case and examined at the court hearing, the court ruled that Mr. Urbon’s guilt had been proven. 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. Urbon was not careful and loving, that is, he did not evaluate his reverse skating skills, he was not convinced that skating this way would be safe, he chose this type of skating, he did not see the victim and meet him.

When imposing the punishment, the court took into account the degree of dangerousness of the crime committed, the nature, the guilt, the personality of the accused – D. Urbon committed a crime by consummated negligence against human health (criminal negligence), previously he was more educated, married. A mitigating circumstance of the responsibility of the accused D. Urbon 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.
