Court orders companies to pay pension to mother of young woman killed in accident in Boa Vista
A court in Roraima ordered two companies to pay a monthly pension to the mother of a 19-year-old woman who died after being hit by one of their trucks in Boa Vista.
In a recent ruling, the judiciary of Roraima mandated that AgropecuΓ‘ria Garrote Ltda and City Tur Transporte Ltda provide financial support to the mother of Sabryna Lyane Massullo Carvalho, who tragically lost her life in an accident caused by a truck associated with these companies. This accident also left her sister seriously injured, placing an additional emotional and financial burden on the family. The court's decision comes two months after the incident, highlighting the immediacy of the family's needs in the wake of such a devastating loss.
The ruling, issued by Judge Rodrigo Bezerra Delgado from the 3rd Civil Court, reflects the accountability of companies regarding the actions of their vehicles. A video of the incident showed the truck colliding with the motorcycle carrying both sisters on two separate occasions, ultimately leading to their tragic fall and subsequent harm. The legal decision underscores the importance of corporate responsibility for public safety and the severe implications that arise when such responsibilities are neglected.
In an official response, City Tur Transporte expressed its condolences for the situation and mentioned that it is actively cooperating with ongoing investigations. They have conducted thorough inspections of the truck involved and reassured that the initial pension payment has already been made. This case serves as a reminder of the profound impacts of vehicular accidents and the necessary legal frameworks to protect the victims and families affected by such tragedies.
