A Canadian cab company, Richmond Cabs Ltd, has been ordered to pay over 400,000 Canadian dollars in compensation to a wheelchair-bound passenger, Jane Stillwell, who was injured due to the negligence of their Indian-origin driver, Gurdeep Singh Sohi. The incident occurred in 2018 when Sohi made an abrupt brake to avoid a collision. Stillwell, who relies on a power wheelchair, was forcefully ejected and sustained severe injuries. The judgment, issued by the British Columbia Supreme Court, states that Stillwell will receive 171,470 Canadian dollars for future care and 10,423 Canadian dollars in special damages.
