Family awarded $2.5 million for B.C. crash caused by motorcyclist that took mother’s life
The family of a woman who lost her life in a South Surrey car crash involving a speeding motorcyclist has been awarded nearly $2.5 million in damages.
“While Mr. Ghaly has done his best to continue living his life, it would be repugnant in the circumstances to not to acknowledge his deep pain, which continues to this day and has been medically diagnosed as affecting his day-to-day functioning relative to his pre-accident life,” the judge wrote. “Mr. Ghaly does not remember much of the accident itself. He does, however, recall the ‘flash’ of the motorcycle,” wrote Burke.
Wagih spent a great deal of time at the hospital. His daughter Marina later detailed how she was not able to hug her mom. Six days after the accident Mariam Ghaly died. Cause of death was hypoxic encephalopathy — a brain injury caused by lack of oxygen — from drowning.
