Personal injury lawyer and Founding HSH Partner Jim Howie appeared on CityNews speaking about the dangers of falling chunks of concrete from neglected bridges across Toronto.
A few weeks ago Howie’s client was walking under the bridge at Scarlett Road and Dundas when he was struck in the head with a falling piece of concrete. The injury has left his client with a significant head injury, and probable permanent brain damage.
“This is a serious issue for pedestrians and drivers alike,” says Howie. “While I am pleased to see the City’s commitment to work on the Gardiner, the issue is city wide and too little, too late for people like my client. More attention needs to be brought to this issue.”
