Bus Runs over Teen | Toledo Ohio personal injury attorneys

Ernest Lewis, 13, was attempting to board a bus in New York City before it drove away.  He ran alongside the bus before it started to move and hit the side of the bus to alert the driver of his presence.  As Lewis approached the bus’s middle wheels, he tripped and his legs fill under the bus.  The bus started to move, running over his legs.  Lewis suffered an injury to his right lower leg and fractures to his fibula and heel bone.  He also underwent various surgeries and many months of rehabilitation.  Lewis’s medical expenses amounted to approximately $283,000. 

On Lewis’s behalf, his mother sued the New York City Transit Authority, alleging that the bus driver negligently moved the vehicle while Lewis was in the zone of danger.

Lewis, the plaintiff, was awarded $6.78 million.
