A local law firm says it is filing a class action lawsuit with the Superior Court of Justice in Ottawa in the fatal Westboro bus crash.
In a statement, Merchant Law Group says it is seeking financial compensation for the victims of the crash, including those on the platform, in its claim against the City of Ottawa and OC Transpo.
The class action litigation also seeks compensations for family members of the victims.
The firm says the class action includes allegations of safety deficiencies in the design and operation of the public transportation system in Ottawa.
None of the allegations have been proven in court.
More to come.
