Winter in the Crimea and ice: to prove the negligence of the communal workers and compensate for the damage for injury in court

According to Denisova, the procedure for obtaining compensation for non -pecuniary damage and damage caused to health or property can not be called simple because it requires going to court. The consideration of such a case can take from two months to six months, depending on its complexity, the lawyer noted.

But if you correctly fix the facts and evidence of your damage, their cause, then the court most often becomes on the strip of the victim— says the lawyer.

So, if we are talking about a fall on a slippery sidewalk or road, the surface of which utilities did not process the reagents from snow and ice in time, you must first record the fact of the fall and all the details of the situation. For example, take a picture of the scene.

That is, to fix that the path was not poured with a reagent, that it is slippery and ice formed on it. The fact of your fall can be recorded by eyewitnesses — people who were walking with you, or others. From which you can take contact details and then get explanations as witnesses. They will prove that you fell because there was slippery ice in the pedestrian zone— said Denisova.

Also, the proof of where and how exactly everything happened will be video recordings from video surveillance cameras, if they are installed nearby, she added.

The second point that needs to be fixed is your damage. This can be done by calling an ambulance. In the primary circulation card, the cause of damage is recorded. Or by contacting the nearest emergency room, where I also advise you to indicate in the history, in the initial reception card the reason for your injury: fell on slippery ice. You can even specify an approximate address— recommended the lawyer.

You can also call police officers to the scene so that they record the fact of your fall and the fact that the road is slippery, Denisova noted.

This is the best fixation to call police officers who will examine the scene and record the fact that the fall really happened for this reason, ”the expert said.

And she emphasized that the fixation of the circumstances of the incident and the appeal to doctors should be carried out on the same day when everything happened.

The limitation period is three years. That is, you can contact a post -fact at any time for three years. But you need to fix and receive evidence day a day, the next day. Because the situation may change, and heal damage. You then do not collect evidence— said the lawyer.

According to the lawyer, as practice shows, the amount of compensation to the victims for moral and physical damage vary from 5 thousand to 500 thousand rubles.

It all depends on the severity of the damage caused— said the lawyer.
