Unable to secure $800,000 compensation for her child's roller coaster accident.

In Omsk, Russia, a court hearing regarding compensation for a 15-year-old student's injury at the Fetisov Sports Palace ice rink in December 2024 has concluded. The teenager, who suffered a broken shoulder bone during the incident, required surgery and spent over two weeks in the hospital.

The initial compensation amount, awarded by the first instance court in Omsk, was 105,000 rubles. However, the victim's mother appealed the decision, considering the amount insufficient. The press service of the prosecutor's office reported that the Omsk Regional Court reviewed the appeal, but the exact amount of compensation awarded after the appeal remains unspecified.

The prosecutor and the judicial panel supported the initial decision, stating that the compensation amount corresponds to the severity of the suffered distress. The Omsk Regional Court, responsible for reviewing appeals in the region, agreed with their arguments.

The incident took place at the open-air rink of the Fetisov Sports Palace in Omsk. No new information about the accident or the lawsuit was provided in this paragraph. The decision made by the Omsk Regional Court remains unchanged, and the court ordered the sports school at the Fetisov Sports Palace to pay compensation for the injury.

The Omsk Regional Court hearing regarding the compensation for the accident at the Fetisov Sports Palace ice rink was initially planned for a higher compensation amount but was revised to a lower sum before the judgment was confirmed. The press service of the prosecutor's office reported the decision of the Omsk Regional Court.
