A victim of a motor vehicle accident who suffers permanent disability exceeding 30% is entitled to economic loss and career impairment damages under Rwandan law, regardless of whether they continued working or receiving salary. The law does not require total job loss for such compensation. The Supreme Court affirms the High Court's calculation and award of damages.

Court
Supreme Court
Case number
RS/INJUST/RC 00007/2023/SC

A victim of a motor vehicle accident who suffers permanent disability exceeding 30% is entitled to economic loss and career impairment damages under Rwandan law, regardless of whether they continued working or earning salary. Career impairment includes loss of promotion opportunities and diminished work capacity. Medical evidence confirming aesthetic impairment justifies aesthetic damages. The insurer's claim for counter-damages fails absent proof of abusive litigation.
