Reexamination of a Traffic Accident Case After 31 Years
March 26, 2026
The Supreme Court has decided to reopen a traffic accident case that occurred 31 years ago, leading to a significant legal reversal. Herodotos Konstantinou was severely injured in 1995 and became quadriplegic. The initial lawsuit against the driver was dismissed, but now the responsibilities of the state and local authorities are being examined. The plaintiffs claim that the lack of adequate lighting and pedestrian crossings contributed to the accident. The Supreme Court clarified that the new lawsuit is legally valid and appropriate.
