Lawsuit of the week
SeaBus head-bumping incident triggers suit A tall man who bumped his head on a SeaBus doorframe is suing TransLink for failing to mark or pad the entryway. North Vancouver carpenter Glenn Senft has launched a suit against South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority, aka TransLink, for failing to mark or pad the top of the doorframe. According to the suit, Senft stands 6’6� tall and the SeaBus doorway is 6’4� high rather than the standard 6’8�. The statement of claim, filed August 12, states that the incident happened March of 2010 when the plaintiff was boarding the SeaBus in Vanccouver. “The plaintiff was walking with due care and attention when suddenly, and without warning, he hit his head on the top of the unusually short door passageway into the SeaBus and fell to the floor.� The court document alleges that Senft suffered head, neck and lower back injuries as a result of the incident. The suit argues that TransLink is liable for negligence under the Occupiers Liability Act. Senft is suing for general and special damages, as well as health-care costs.
