The Regional Court in Otwock convicted the defendant of a negligent traffic accident resulting in a pedestrian's fracture and ordered a suspended sentence. The court found that the driver failed to exercise special caution while reversing, causing the victim to fall and suffer injuries exceeding seven days. Consequently, the court applied a one-year probation period, mandated a 500 PLN compensation payment to victim funds, and awarded legal aid costs to the victim while exempting the defendant from court fees due to financial hardship.
