Damages for Accident at Embassy
In Caracas, the Daily News reports on February 28, 2008 that the Fourth Court of First Instance in Civil, Mercantile, and Transit Matters awarded $400,000 in material damages to Lilian Ramirez. The U.S. Embassy to Venezuela was ordered to pay Ms. Ramirez after 21 years of litigation concerning an accident she had at the embassy in 1986. Claims for moral damages and lost profits were dismissed. The article lacks a description of the underlying legal issues or a link to the decision. -- Genevieve Cohoon, legal assistant, Berliner, Corcoran & Rowe, LLP, Washington.
