She emphasized that the gaming company proved to be negligent and did not take the necessary precautions to preserve the safety of its customers, and thus the defendant's error was constant, and she could not dispense with it on the terms of her year to protect herself, and her mistake was the direct cause of the bodily injuries sustained by the plaintiff.

The court estimated compensation for material damage at 80,000 dirhams, and with regard to compensation for moral damage, it is established that the plaintiff felt pain and suffering as a result of these injuries and surgeries and her inability to walk.
