Today the Queen of the North’s wrongful death settlement details were published. Gerald Foisy, age 46 died a wrongful death and his teenage daughters received woefully inadequate settlements based on the parsimonious state of BC’s Family Compensation Act.

If the reverse had occurred, that is if Gerald Foisy had survived the ferry sinking and his daughters had died, he would have had no right to damages therefore no meaningful right to sue at all!

BC justice anyone?

• Vancouver Sun: BC Ferries paying $200,000 to sisters who lost their father
• The Province: $200,000 paid out to Queen of North death
