In Ruvuta v Jaderberg & Anor [2024] QDC 107, the District Court of Queensland considered a claim stemming from a car accident that involved the plaintiff, Moise Ruvuta, who sustained multiple injuries, including a right meniscal tear. The accident's liability was admitted by the defendants, Nils Bertil Jaderberg and RACQ Insurance Limited. The core dispute was over the extent and causation of the plaintiff's injuries and the resulting damages. The court concluded that the plaintiff had suffered the right meniscal tear due to the accident, which was later aggravated during a soccer game. Judge Morzone KC assessed total damages at $124,456.89 for the plaintiff, covering general damages, past and future economic loss, and special damages. Interest on past economic loss was to be calculated separately, and the court ordered the defendants to pay the plaintiff's costs unless a different order was sought within 14 days.
