On January 12, 2019, a very loud detonation caused by a gas leak killed 4 people and injured 66, rue deTreviso . Four years after the tragedy, victims' associations denounce the slowness of the compensation procedure.The associations of victims of the explosion in the rue de Trévise deplore the heaviness and slowness of the compensation procedure, four years after the tragedy commemorated Thursday in this artery in the center of Paris. At the end of November 2022, almost a year after the announcement of a framework agreement allowing compensation without waiting for the legal outcome, eight victims had been compensated for a total amount of 107,000 euros, according to documents that AFP was able to consult. Far from the approximately 400 victims brought together by the two associations, and in view of the 20 million euros contributed by the City of Paris for the compensation fund. "There are a lot of blockages", regrets, contacted by AFP, Dominique Paris, president of the Trévise Ensemble association according to which "files submitted in June have still not received an offer". "It's a colossal job that takes us back to the disaster, 4 years later," she adds. Difficulties with the expert On January 12, 2019, a very loud detonation caused by a gas leak in front of 6 rue de Trévise left 4 dead, 66 injured and some 400 affected residents. “We thought it was going to be fluid but it is not”, abounds Linda Zaourar, president of Vret (Victims and survivors of the explosion in the rue de Trévise), the other association. She criticizes claims adjuster Sedgwick, file manager, for "difficulties" or "refusals" to "open files", but also for "endless discussions to discuss damages". Meeting in mid-December, the monitoring committee reports a "particularly cumbersome procedure" when the alleged damage exceeds 100,000 euros, which "supposes coordinating up to eight different agendas", including those of the experts appointed by each of the five insurers. "We have the impression that they discover the victims as if Treviso were the first tragedy in France", sighs Linda Zaourar. Contacted by AFP, Sedgwick had not reacted on Monday. Even if the two coordinators chosen by the interministerial delegate for victim assistance (Diav) "are in support", "the system is not at all satisfactory", agrees the mayor (Horizons) of the 9th arrondissement Delphine Burkli. A second opinion awaited At the end of November, 161 natural persons and 9 legal persons had signed up to the framework agreement and sent their claims to Sedgwick, which had made 44 offers of compensation, for a total of 607,000 euros.
