The Rostov interdistrict prosecutor’s office supported in court a local resident whose daughter suffered as a result of a fall at school break. The parent appealed to the court to recover from the administration of the educational organization compensation for moral damage.

The girl studied in the 7th grade in one of the schools of Rostov the Great. In March 2026, during a break, she was pushed by one of the students of the school. The girl fell, suffered a fractured tailbone.
It took a long time to treat such an injury. Because of the fracture, the schoolgirl could not sit, attend school, walk or even sleep in her usual pose. After the fracture, the teenager needed long-term rehabilitation.
Giving a conclusion on the case, the representative of the Prosecutor’s office noted that the administration of the educational organization is responsible for the safety of schoolchildren not only during training sessions, but also during changes.
The court, having considered the circumstances of the case, ruled in favour of the applicant. But he satisfied the claims only partially, determining compensation for moral damage in the amount of 250 thousand rubles.
The prosecutor's office did not agree with the size of the satisfied claims. The Rostov interdistrict prosecutor brought an appeal against the decision, pointing out that the court of first instance did not fully take into account the circumstances worthy of attention. The girl experienced serious pain, moral suffering and was deprived of the opportunity to lead a habitual lifestyle not only during treatment, but during rehabilitation.
In the court of second instance, the arguments presented by the prosecutor’s office were considered weighty and convincing. The amount of compensation for moral damage was increased from 250 thousand rubles to 500 thousand rubles.
