The BC Wrongful Death Law Society to NDP MLA Mitzi Dean:
“I’m writing to you today to formally introduce our organization to you, and secondly to inform you of a massive inequity in both our current and upcoming proposed legislation that we felt pertinent to bring to your attention.”
British Columbians have amnesia. We fought and beat the the most discriminatory piece of proposed legislation against victim rights in BC history, the No-Fault ICBC Motor Vehicle Insurance Legislation, 23 years ago.
Now it’s back, disguised under the Orwellian “doublespeak” name: “Enhanced Care Coverage”.
By the NDP government introducing no-fault motor vehicle insurance legislation that does not provide compensation for damages related to pain & suffering, or access to justice, it forces the victim to remain in a state of distress associated with their injury and trauma.
No-fault motor vehicle insurance legislation will be disastrous for ensuring victim rights and access to justice for the citizens of the province. We have sent a letter to the Attorney General’s office advising both on the history of ICBC and alternative measures that would allow us to solely focus on root cause prevention of accidents in the first place.
2024 Election – David Eby & the BC NDP have failed to keep their promise to modernize BC’s wrongful death laws within their 2020-2024 mandate of government.
John Rustad and the Conservative Party of BC have committed to modernize if elected.
