Emilie Negahban lost her baby after a difficult delivery on February 4, in Vancouver. As former attorney general David Eby prepares to become premier of British Columbia, she calls for the modernization of the law called the Family Compensation Act.
Ann Forry says she’s been revictimized in her daughter’s death by a system set up to protect doctors over patients. Her 29-year-old died of toxic shock syndrome after the third time she was turned away at Lion’s Gate emergency department.
Emilie Negahban’s son Nathaniel was alive for only eight hours before he died in his mother’s arms this past February.
But the first-time mother and her husband have been re-traumatized after learning their son’s body has been ready to be brought back home for eight weeks — and no one told them.
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.
