Humboldt Broncos families to appeal lawsuit dismissal

The families of five victims from the Humboldt Broncos bus crash plan to appeal a judge’s dismissal of their lawsuit against the Saskatchewan government, the bus manufacturer, and the semi driver responsible for the collision that killed 16 people. Their lawyer, Kevin Mellor, contends that the public needs to understand the circumstances surrounding the tragedy, which involved visibility issues at the accident site. The families allege that Saskatchewan’s no-fault insurance laws unjustly bar them from seeking justice for their losses. Justice Graeme Mitchell found the plaintiffs did not demonstrate how these provisions violated their rights, a decision that the families argue undermines accountability for preventable deaths.
