Court
Supreme Court
Case number
RS/INJUST/RC00015/2024/SC

A permanently disabled accident victim is entitled to economic and career impairment damages under Rwandan law, even if they continue working and earning a salary, provided the disability is permanent and exceeds the statutory threshold. The lower court erred in denying such damages based solely on continued employment.
