## Resource

A Galway doctor, Babak Meshkat, 46, faced court for a fatal crash two years ago that killed his six-year-old daughter—faults included a car defect, the child’s unbuckled seatbelt, and speed. The judge acknowledged his profound grief, handed down a €5,000 fine and one-year driving ban, and stressed no sentence can undo the daily agony he endures. The case serves as a chilling warning to others, highlighting how tragic outcomes can stem from a convergence of preventable and unavoidable factors.
