In the case of Kim v Murdoch dated September 19, 2023, 17-year-old Jaeheon Shim, the plaintiff, known as "Eric" to his Canadian friends, tragically lost his life when he was struck by a vehicle owned by the defendants Toyota Credit Canada Inc. and driven by Brandon Murdoch. The defendants had accepted responsibility for the incident. Eric had been a diligent and generous young man, actively involved in his church, high school, and various activities. He had worked tirelessly at his parents' sushi restaurant without receiving a salary, assisting them with translations and business matters due to their limited English proficiency. The parents, who were the plaintiffs, had moved to Canada to provide him with a better education and quality of life. The court had faced the complex task of determining the potential economic future of Eric and his parents had he survived. Central to this assessment had been the consideration of whether Eric would have adhered to the traditional Korean practice of hyodo, which involves children providing support to their parents. In conclusion, the plaintiffs were awarded a total of $327,634.88 in damages. This had included compensation for the loss of future financial assistance ($249,714.60), offset by child expenses not incurred (-$140,000), as well as losses related to housekeeping services, translation services, driving services, guidance, and in-trust claims for Brian Lee and Sunnie Choi, along with special damages.
