Merchant Law Group LLP - Class Actions

Ferry Asbestos Class Action

If you have ridden in the passenger lounge aboard the ferry Quadra Queen II between Alert Bay, Sointula and Port McNeil, B.C. prior to April 23, 2009, you may have been exposed to asbestos. Asbestos may cause certain types of lung disease, which may take many years to develop. A proposed class action has been commenced against BC Ferry Services Inc. by the Merchant Law Group LLP acting on behalf of a resident of Alert Bay. The claim asserts BC Ferries negligently exposed passengers to airborne asbestos. The claim is for injury (including anxiety) caused by the potential exposure, as well as loss of income and expenses relating to medical care. As the legal action progresses further notices will be issued. If you have concerns about being exposed to asbestos aboard the Quadra Queen II, you should consult with your doctor immediately. You should keep records of the visit to your doctor as well as records of any lost time at work or expenses associated with that visit. This notice also applies to employees of BC Ferries who rode on the ferry as non-working passengers. You can register your claim online by filling out the form below. You may contact the Merchant Law Group LLP by email (BCFerryAsbestos@merchantlaw.com), or by mail at 531 Quadra St. Victoria B.C. V8V 3S4. Further notices will be published in coming months.
