Several clients have e-mailed wondering if HIROC, the Eastern Health insurer, plans to exclude certain types of claims or class members from compensation. One class member was quoted in the news over the weekend as describing this strategy as “pitting sick people against sick people”.
An e-mail from a class member today stated that although she did not have a change of test result, she has had to work hard to not “give up and let this eat me alive”. She asks “do persons like me have a case too?”
In our opinion, persons who did not have a change in test results do have a good claim for mental and psychological distress and anguish. I will explain this a bit more tomorrow, and I intend to send out an e-mail to see what class members generally, think of the validity of the mental distress claims. A good way to canvas opinion in the group is by blog comments on the questions which I will raise in my blog tomorrow. If you have a comment you would like to post on today’s blog, please do—it helps me and it can be persuasive to the other side too.
And as an added bonus, I will Donate $10.00 to Daffodil Place for EACH blog comment posted! (Remember these are public comments. If you wish to preserve your privacy, you don’t have to use your real name.)
More on the subject of damages for mental distress tomorrow.
