The court awarded the plaintiff 3,000 zł in compensation for physical and mental suffering caused by a tram accident, while dismissing the claim for a lost hearing aid due to lack of evidence. The defendant admitted liability for the personal injury but contested the specific loss of the hearing aid, arguing no causal link existed. The court found the plaintiff's severe pain and inability to perform daily tasks justified the compensation, yet ruled the hearing aid claim unproven without further evidence.
