New information has come to light in the electrocution death of a Kent, B.C., woman and her two dogs six years ago, and it’s raising more questions from the victim’s family about what happened.
Vancouver cyclist Gary Kalmek suffered a broken leg, a broken arm and three broken ribs when he was hit by a car while riding his bike at Main Street and 15th Avenue in Vancouver in early June.
After undergoing multiple surgeries and spending a week in hospital, the 38-year-old library tech assumed he would be compensated for pain and suffering, but under the province’s new “no fault” model, which came into effect on May 1, most accident victims can no longer sue the offending driver and ICBC.
We’re happy to share that MLA Andrew Mercier of Langley has shown his support for his constituent Kari Bateman and our Society’s goals to modernize BC’s wrongful death laws!
