Bus accident results in fractured jaw and loss of teeth

$450,000

A young woman passenger on a public bus sustained serious permanent injuries when the bus driver lost control when he was adjusting his mirrors and smashed into a light pole. The crash propelled the passenger into a railing and pole inside the bus. She sustained a fractured mandible (jaw) which required it to be wired and closed for several weeks. She also lost several teeth and sustained a permanent disfiguring scar on her face. After extensive depositions once the suit was filed, the deposition of the bus driver did not go well for him. The case was settled confidentially for a large six figure amount.
