The Lipsig Law Firm secured a verdict exceeding $20 million against the New York City Transit Authority for a client who was catastrophically injured after being struck by a New York City bus while crossing the street. The client was lawfully within the crosswalk and crossing with the pedestrian signal when the collision occurred.
The accident caused devastating injuries, including the loss of an arm and a leg and blindness in one eye. The client, a 59-year-old woman, spent approximately ten months hospitalized following the incident. The verdict provides compensation for long-term medical care and future needs resulting from the life-altering injuries.
