$730,000 Settlement for Bus Passenger Injury

$730,000 settlement to a 63 year old retired Board of Education employee, who was both a mother and grandmother. The plaintiff was on a bus traveling from Foxwoods Casino to New York City and was getting up so she could get off at her stop, when the bus driver slammed on the brakes for no particular reason, violently throwing the plaintiff to the floor. The plaintiff suffered multiple physical injuries, the most serious of which was a fractured disc and other herniated discs in her cervical spine, resulting in an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery. She also suffered post-traumatic stress disorder, requiring psychological counseling. The owner of the bus testified that the driver admitted to him that his sudden stop caused the plaintiff to fall and also informed us that the driver had been terminated for not reporting the accident to a supervisor.
