In Zhang v. 328633 B.C. Ltd, et al., 2021 BCSC 650, the plaintiff, Zhang, brought suit for injuries sustained during an automobile accident that occurred in 2013. The bus on which Zhang was riding as a passenger was cut off by an unidentified vehicle, forcing the bus driver to stop abruptly and throwing the elderly Zhang from her seat. Zhang sustained multiple injuries.
