Lawyer Wins Bus Accident Settlement
Our Detroit bus accident lawyer recently settled a pedestrian accident case in the Washtenaw Circuit Court. Our client, a University of Michigan employee, was crossing the street in downtown Ann Arbor. While in the crosswalk, an Ann Arbor Transportation Authority Bus turned into the crosswalk and struck him, knocking him down and causing numerous injuries. A lawsuit was filed and later settled at a mediation proceeding just prior to the scheduled jury trial. Several videos taken by the bus cameras provided necessary evidence to prove liability against the bus driver.
In the year 2009 there were a total of 2,135 bus accidents in Wayne County. Detroit bus accidents accounted for 1,170 (54.8%) of those accidents. These bus accidents resulted in 13 fatalities (8 in Detroit), and another 573 people who suffered injuries, 230 of which were in Detroit. In addition, there were 13 pedestrians involved in Detroit bus accidents.
