Categories: Caribbean, Latin America, Brazil, Martinique, Venezuela, Disaster, Economics & Business, Governance, Law

Bien Vu writes (Fr):”It's been more than 8 months since 152 Martiniquans died in a crash in Maracaibo [,Venezuela]. [1]Since then, talks at cross-purposes between the Association aux Victimes du Crash Aerien [association of victims of the aerial crash] (AVCA) and the Brazilian insurer of West Caribbean Airways who cannot seem to agree on the amount of indemnification for the victims’ loved ones [2]. (…) the insurer's lawyer has started a case-by-case determination. (…) But how much money is that much pain worth? (…) who can declare that this person or that person is worth more than others?”
