Man shocked he had to pay OHIP for hospital stay after winning lawsuit
An Oakville, Ont. man, who won a lawsuit for a slip-and-fall accident, says he is shocked that he had to pay $55,000 for his lengthy hospital stay.
Guy McMurray said he was in excruciating pain for months after he slipped and fell on black ice in front of his workplace in 2013, smashing his kneecaps and severing his tendons.
“I lay in ice water until the ambulance came,” said McMurray, who eventually filed a lawsuit in 2014 and was awarded $350,000.
