About Wrongful Death Laws
The current legislation in BC denies non-pecuniary damages (pain and suffering), punitive damages (damages for egregious acts), and loss of companionship to the survivors of loved ones killed by the neglectful or wrongful actions of another. Only the families of loved ones that had an income and dependents who were wrongfully killed ever see the inside of a courtroom. This has left in particular children, the elderly, and the disabled vulnerable by this discriminatory current legislation that is sadly lagging behind other Canadian provinces.
The BC Wrongful Death Law Reform Society is dedicated to changing the legislation in BC, and we need YOUR help in contacting your MLA to make it come to pass. For more information, watch the video below, or petition your MLA now »
