Palma must pay €106,700: Ruling after fall in unlit dog zone
Why poor lighting in Son Dameto became a legal issue
The court said Son Dameto’s lighting was inadequate because it left a hidden hole hard to see.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Why was the lighting in Son Dameto considered a safety problem?
Residents had long complained that the dog zone in Son Dameto was dim and that the light source dazzled more than it illuminated. The court accepted that poor lighting made a hidden hole hard to see, which turned a routine walk into a dangerous situation. The problem was not just darkness, but the lack of proper visibility on the ground.
