We are pleased to provide an update on the status of the Indian Boarding Homes Class Action. We appeared before Justice Pamel of the Federal Court of Canada in Vancouver, BC on September 12 to 14, 2023. The purpose of that three-day hearing was to determine whether the proposed settlement is fair and reasonable. A class action settlement cannot go ahead unless the court approves it. We presented the judge with evidence showing that the settlement is fair and reasonable and that it has the support of class members. At the end of the hearing, the judge reserved his decision. That means he is going to take some time to go through and consider all of the evidence before he announces his decision. We expect it may be some weeks or months before we have the judge’s decision.
If you would like to receive updates on this class action, please complete the inquiry form or contact us at 604-714-6531.

Owners and occupiers of premises have a duty to keep visitors safe by providing adequate warning of potential hazards or by removing hazards entirely. They must routinely inspect the premises and repair or remove hazards. If an owner or occupier does not meet this duty and you are injured as a result, you may be able to bring a claim for compensation.

The owners and occupiers of premises have a duty to maintain safe conditions on the property, warn visitors of potential dangers, and exercise reasonable caution in the repair or removal of tripping hazards. If they fail in these duties, visitors can sustain serious injuries in accidental falls.
If you have been injured on a property belonging to someone else, you may be entitled to compensation through a personal injury claim against the owner and/or occupier of the premises. Our trip and fall accident lawyers will protect your rights and interests. We file all paperwork, thoroughly investigate your case, consult relevant experts, and seek compensation through settlement or by going to court.
“We can help if you were injured in a trip and fall.”
