ABBOTSFORD – Families of the victims of the tragic Indo-Canadian wedding procession deaths have brought in top-gun personal injury lawyer Bernie Simpson to take on dozens of defendants that they allege to be liable for the tragedy that killed six people and injured numerous others after an elderly man drove his pickup truck into a large gathering of people during a pre-wedding celebration event in Abbotsford.

Well known personal injury claims specialist Simpson, who is representing all but one of the victims, told the LINK his firm has now added four additional defendants to the original action, which included the city of Abbotsford, the driver of the truck. In addition to these, the owners of the truck and the owners of the two houses where the pre-wedding celebrations took place, as well as owner of two private vehicles have been added to the lawsuit, which also names ICBC and a host of insurance companies. A total of 18 lawsuits have been filed so far, he said.
