The situation in Punta del Este has taken a devastating turn, with a 22-year-old woman fighting for her life in the ICU after a tragic accident. Her lawyer, Andrés Bail, is now seeking justice, emphasizing the severity of her condition and the heartbreaking loss of her unborn baby. “The young woman will likely suffer from very serious long-term consequences due to the accident, and tragically, she lost the baby she was carrying,” Bail explained, highlighting the dire circumstances of the case.
As the investigation unfolds, the Second Circuit Prosecution Office, led by Jessica Pereira, has been assigned to the case. Bail is scheduled to meet with Pereira on Tuesday to gain access to the investigation files, a crucial step in understanding the events that led to this tragic outcome. The family’s primary concern is to see the case formally investigated and for the driver of the vehicle to be held accountable for their actions. “That’s what we, along with the family, are hoping for – justice for the lost baby and for the severe injuries Valeria has sustained. We still don’t know the full extent of her injuries, and it’s imperative that we get to the bottom of this,” Bail stressed, underscoring the need for a thorough and transparent investigation.
With eyewitnesses coming forward and the potential for security camera footage to emerge, the lawyer believes that the evidence will be instrumental in shedding light on the accident. The family and their legal team are eagerly awaiting the revelation of these details, which they hope will pave the way for justice to be served. As the community rallies around the young woman and her loved ones, the pursuit of accountability and a fair outcome remains the top priority. Bail’s determination to seek justice is a testament to the family’s unwavering commitment to ensuring that Valeria’s ordeal does not go unaddressed.
