A B.C. crash victim who was rear-ended by a driver has won money to help pay for traditional Chinese medicine treatments – but not as much as they were seeking.

The B.C. Civil Resolution Tribunal has ordered Hei Man Fong to pay $4,419.93 to Yoko Wong in damages after a February 2020 car crash, according to a recently published decision.

Wong was a passenger in a vehicle rear-ended by Fong, said the decision, and Wong had to pay out-of-pocket for TCM treatments.
