What is the impact of a shooting incident on a driver's ability to continue driving?

Manitoba, Canada


The following excerpt is from Smith v. Zrobek, 2018 MBQB 22 (CanLII):

The place to start this analysis is with the case of Amos v. Insurance Corp. of British Columbia, 1995 CanLII 66 (SCC), [1995] 3 S.C.R. 405. That was a case which dealt with a claim by a driver for benefits under the no-fault portion of the automobile insurance plan then existing in British Columbia. While in California, the driver of a motor vehicle sustained a gunshot wound when he was shot by one of a group of men who had surrounded his vehicle while he was driving, and who were trying to impede the car’s progress. The driver, even after being shot, was able to continue driving forward, albeit slowly, until he extricated himself from the situation. He was seriously injured.
