Lawsuit’s Path and Purpose
When the lawsuit was first filed, it named Sidhu, his employer Adesh Deol Trucking Ltd., and the manufacturer of the team’s bus. Saskatchewan was added as a defendant in 2020.
Both Fox and Mellor said their clients are not only seeking damages but also acknowledgment of responsibility.
“Right now the government is saying we don’t have to be accountable for these deaths,” Mellor said.
As the families prepare their appeal, the case continues to raise a broader question — whether a legal system built to compensate without blame can also answer demands for accountability when tragedy strikes at a known danger point on the road.
