Dolors G.P., 78 years old, fell on January 31, 2022, on a zebra crossing on Eugeni d'Ors street, in Lleida, and fractured her right kneecap and left wrist.
Four years later, the unevenness remains unrepaired at the point where he tripped, between the IES Guidàvols and the access to the Arnau de Vilanova Emergency Room.
The City Council has received a claim for 20,000 euros for a fall on Eugeni d'Ors
Maite Nolla filed a claim with the Paeria in March 2022 for the fall. In the document, she requested 20,000 euros and stated that the affected person was walking with the caution appropriate for her age and that there was no signage of the unevenness.
A municipal technical architect recognized in a report a defect of 6.5 centimeters at the most unfavorable point.
He also added that the condition of the roadway was not recorded.
The municipal insurer lowered the offer to 5,000 euros and the case will go to trial
The municipal insurer issued two reports in which it assumed patrimonial responsibility of the Lleida city council, but reduced the offer to 5,000 euros.
That figure does not coincide with the valuation that the initial claim defended.
The Legal Advisory Commission rejected a few weeks ago an opinion that proposed compensating with 65,528 euros.
The case will end up in court because an agreement between the parties is not foreseen.
