The mother of a woman who was killed alongside her ten-year-old nephew after a truck crashed into their car in Manzanilla in 2019, has been awarded over $500,000 in compensation.
Late last month, High Court Judge Joan Charles upheld Jennifer Meliville’s negligence case against the truck driver Kerwyn Lynch, his employer Waste Disposal (2003) Ltd, and its insurer Trinre Insurance Company Ltd.
The lawsuit related to an accident that resulted in the death of Meliville’s 33-year-old daughter Alisha Carrington and her nephew Josiah on September 7, 2019.
