In this November episode of Ask the Lawyer, Host Warren Berg speaks with Cynthia Carels and Ian Miller of Weir Bowen LLP about how assessed, in wrongful death actions, and how the law goes about putting a dollar value on the loss of a life. They discuss the damages that are specifically provided for in the Fatal Accidents Act, as well as the factors and contingencies that impact how Alberta Courts determine damages for loss of dependency for those who have lost loved ones as a result of the negligence or wrongdoing of others.
Ask the Lawyer is heard the last Saturday of the Month on CFWE North & CJWE South in Alberta, Canada. For more information visit www.weirbowen.com & cfweradio.ca
