Record compensation for a woman who fell in a subway station in Bucharest, where the platform had a “trap”

Infrastructure problems are settled, in most disarming cases, by the injured parties themselves.

If you break down after hitting a pothole on the road, you are most likely to solve the problem with money out of your pocket, even if you know that, theoretically and legally, public road managers (be they local, county or national) are obliged to keep the roads in good condition, and if they don't and cause damage to vehicles, the affected drivers can claim compensation.

But, for that, you have to take pictures, stop witnesses, convince them to give you phone numbers and possible written statements, call the police, have the police come, call the damage inspector… Most of the time, people let themselves be damaged and damaged.

It's just one example in a huge series of situations where people can be brutally hit by infrastructure problems or poor quality public services.

In Bucharest, for example, there is a very high probability that trees will fall on the car left in the parking lot. And that without special weather conditions.

Plaster from old, damaged and unkempt buildings can also fall onto the pavement.

It can also be a situation like the broken, lifted and unmarked metal plate on the platform of the Piața Universităităi metro station.

Read, on B365.ro, about the woman who tripped in it, fell, was seriously injured, needed hospitalization, many days of medical care and then recovery. When it ended, he sued Metrorex and won.
