Segura sued for damages after fatal RTA in 2014! - The Reporter Belize

The mother of Yolanda Valencia, who died in an early morning collision on August 16, 2014, has filed a lawsuit against former Deputy Commissioner of Police Miguel Segura. Segura was driving the government-issued SUV which slammed head–on into a taxi in which Valencia was a passenger, as she headed for the market in San Ignacio to sell her goods. Attorney Kareem Musa, retained by the family, says that the deceased took care of all household expenses and medical bills for the family, and they have lost that support. She was 55 years old at the time and she was fully capable of continuing to work, so we will have to factor in how many years she could have continued working to be able to then determine what exact amount of damages should be awarded to the... The family of Valencia is also seeking damages for their suffering and the loss of their daughter, and special damages to cover the cost of her funeral. At around 5:00 a. m. on the morning of August 16, Segura was driving a Nissan Pathfinder heading towards his home in Benque Viejo when he slammed head -on into the much smaller taxi heading towards Cayo.
