The Administrative Court of Tangier has ruled in favor of a woman who sustained injuries after falling into an unprotected concrete pit in the city. The court ordered the municipality to pay 65,000 Moroccan dirhams in compensation for the damages suffered.
The incident occurred when the victim fell into a concrete pit that lacked any safety barriers or warning signs. The court found the municipality liable for failing to ensure public safety in the area.
The compensation amount was determined based on the severity of the injuries and the negligence of the local authorities. The ruling underscores the responsibility of municipalities to maintain safe public spaces.
This case highlights ongoing concerns about urban safety in Moroccan cities, where unsecured construction sites and open pits pose risks to pedestrians. The court's decision sets a precedent for similar cases involving public liability.
