Wrongful death laws in British Columbia need an overhaul according to critics
Description
August 10, 2021
The parents of toddler Ocean have learned that their daughter's life is worth less than a car. Each parent gets $14,918 for the death of child from ICBC. They cannot sue the insurer in this province. But other provinces have the different rules and a group that wants to change B.C. laws is hoping high profile cases will help change the law. Aaron McArthur has more.
