Lift/Accident: One year after the tragedy little is known and compensation is lacking for 36 victims

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 07:00

One year after the derailment of the Glória lift in Lisbon, the investigation into the accident is still ongoing, with the exact causes of the tragedy that caused 16 dead and 24 injured remaining unclear.

The victims were of 15 different nationalities, which made the process of supporting the families particularly complex, involving international support and multiple jurisdictions.

Support for the families of the dead and the injured continues to be provided, although the compensation process is advancing slowly, with only four compensation cases concluded to date.

The lack of definitive answers about the causes of the accident and the slow pace of compensation keeps the families of the 36 victims in a state of uncertainty, one year after the tragedy.
