Our client, a sixty-eight-year-old home health aide was on her way to work in the backseat of a mini-bus (dollar van) when the vehicle began moving unusually and erratically. The bus jolted, causing passengers to bounce with such force that it resulted in a severe injury to our client. She suffered an open L1 burst fracture in her back resulting in spine surgery. Our dedicated New York bus accident lawyers secured a $485,000 settlement on her behalf.
