Case Details

Plaintiff sustained personal injuries as a result of an accident that occurred while she was disembarking from a New York City Transit Authority bus on February 12, 2013. As the plaintiff exited the bus down the wheelchair ramp behind her patient who was in a wheelchair, without warning the bus operator activated the ramp/platform, causing it to lift back into the bus and propelling plaintiff onto the sidewalk. As a result, the plaintiff suffered several serious injuries, including to her hip. She suffered a partial tear to her gluteus-medius muscle as well as trochanteric bursitis. A later MRI revealed that the partial tear had progressed into a full-thickness tear and she had developed traumatic arthritis in her left hip. A doctor testified that the plaintiff would likely require hip replacement surgery.
