This happened in Zoot's neck of the woods, Vancounver, BC:

"Bicycle courier Andrei Stadnyk had just ended his second week on the job and
was heading home on one of the "ugliest" days of the year, with the cold
biting and the rain pelting down.

"It got worse. A vicious road-rage encounter with an angry BMW driver left him
with a steel plate in his fractured jaw and permanently altered the course of
his life...."

Is Canada so different fromt he U.S. that the damages awarded are that low? It
seems to me that the courier has a legitimate need for much more. The rest of
his life is ****ed up.
