Six years ago, Karina Michell Campos experienced a life-altering accident when a drunk driver crashed into the taxi she was riding while on her way to a university admission exam. As a result of the collision, she suffered severe injuries, including spinal cord damage that led to paraplegia, multiple fractures, and an emergency splenectomy. Despite the lasting effects on her quality of life and ongoing medical needs, the legal process to secure compensation has proven to be protracted and challenging.

The driver responsible for the accident, Armando Partida González, identified as an electronic engineer working for Samsung in Tijuana, was initially held accountable by the courts. In response to the long delay in compensation, a judge ordered that Karina be awarded 13 million pesos through a legal remedy known as an amparo. However, the actual receipt of this compensation remains elusive, leading Karina to express her frustration over a system that she feels has failed to deliver her rightful justice even after a ruling has been made.

Overall, Karina's case sheds light on the broader issues surrounding accountability in drunk driving incidents and the lengthy legal processes victims often endure in seeking justice and compensation. Her persistence highlights the need for systemic changes to ensure that victims like her can receive timely reparations and support following such traumatic events.
