Overview
- An association representing those hit by the Horta Sud floods has opened a coordinated claim seeking €58 million in compensation for physical harm, moral damages and undercompensated property losses.
- The filing consolidates 418 claims from 158 families, including 12 families connected to six deaths in the deluge, according to the group.
- Case details cited by the association’s legal team include 15 injured people, 107 homes, 102 vehicles and 12 businesses affected.
- The claims are being lodged with the Generalitat Valenciana and the Júcar River Basin Authority, which is subordinate to the national Ministry for Ecological Transition, and those bodies now have six months to reply.
- Lawyers said that, if responses are unsatisfactory, the association plans a unified lawsuit in the Valencian High Court to avoid conflicting rulings, and representatives reported feeling supported at the recent state funeral.
