City loses appeal in $8-million schoolboy accident case

The Court of Appeal for Ontario has upheld an $8-million negligence ruling in a case against the City of Hamilton involving a child who was struck by a car after a crossing guard left early.

“This will help him with some quality of life,” family lawyer Robert J. Hooper said over the weekend. “I’m ecstatic for Dean and his family.”

Dean Saumur was 10 at the time of the 2002 crash that changed his life forever.
