What's the basis for $10 mil. over $1mil. At what point does a monetary figure juxtapose a loss, such as a tragic death? In Canada, there's a cap of 100,000 for liability. In fact, having an insurance policy for canadian chapters does more harm than good. I have never heard of someone suing a facility or its proprietors because they broke their ankle stumbling on a few stairs. Ridiculous.
In Canada there is national health insurance. In the USA a broken ankle or leg can cost someone a month's salary if they don't have insurance. Our medical care is very expensive even if you do have insurance.
