$350,000 to a Passenger injured in a low speed MTA Bus Accident

HW’ client was a passenger on an MTA bus that was involved in a low speed (5 mph) accident with a private sedan. The client sustained knee injuries when she struck the seat back in front of her during the accident. The MTA claimed that because of the low speed nature of the accident, HW’s client could not have been hurt. The MTA settled the case for $350,000 just before trial.
