Page 1 of 3 Allison Boone had been practicing medicine for seven years. Her specialty was neurology. She received her bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Toronto and her M.D. from McMaster University. She did her residency at Toronto General Hospital. Allison practiced neurology in a clinic with three other doctors in Toronto. Her husband, Samuel L. Boone, held an administrative position at the Toronto Dominion Bank. Allison and Samuel had been married for ( five years and were the parents of young twin sons, Todd and Trey. They lived in the Beaches area in a beautiful four-room house overlooking Lake Ontario. Allison normally left for work at 7:30 a.m. and closed her office at 5:30 p.m. to return home. On Tuesday, July 6, 2023, at 5:15 p.m., she received an emergency call from Toronto General Hospital and immediately went to the hospital to help a patient who had suffered serious brain damage. When she had administered aid and helped prepare the patient for surgery, it was 11:00 p.m. On her way home along Lakeshore Boulevard, she was confronted head-on by a drunken driver going over 110 kilometers an hour. A crash was inevitable, and Allison and the other driver were killed instantly. The drunken driver was making a 'late delivery for Wayland Frozen Foods Inc. Legal Considerations The families of both drivers were devastated by the news of the accident. After the funeral and explaining the situation to the children, Samuel Boone knew he must seek legal redress for his family's enormous loss. Following interviews with several lawyers, he decided to hire Sloan Whitaker. Whitaker was with a Toronto law firm (Hanson, Whitaker, and Thomason) specializing in plaintiff lawsuits. He had been in practice for over 20 years since graduating from Osgoode Law School. When Whitaker began his investigation on behalf of Samuel Boone and his family, he was surprised to find out the driver of the delivery vehicle had a prior record of alcohol abuse and that Wayland Frozen Foods Inc. had knowledge of the problem when it hired him. It appears the driver was a relative of the owner, and at the time of employment he revealed what he termed "a past alcoholic problem that was now under control." In any event, he was acting as an employee for Wayland Frozen Foods in using its truck to make a business related delivery at the time of the accident. The fact that he was speeding and intoxicated at the time of the impact only increased the legal exposure for Wayland Frozen Foods.
