Telus argues customer’s negligence contributed to his death during 911 service outage: lawsuit
Telus is facing a lawsuit after a man died of a heart attack during a 911 service outage, with the company alleging the man's negligence contributed to his death. The lawsuit claims Dean Switzer's wife and neighbours were unable to connect to 911 despite numerous attempts, delaying medical assistance. Telus denies responsibility for uninterrupted 911 access and points to service agreement clauses regarding service interruptions, further claiming Switzer would not have survived regardless of the outage.
