Jury Renders Defense Verdict Against Man Injured Exiting Bus
The happening of an accident does not automatically mean that someone was negligent.
by Long Island Attorney Paul A. Lauto, Esq.
Kenneth Reape sued the NYC Transit Authority and bus operator, for injuries sustained while exiting a bus one evening. Reape claimed in his lawsuit, that defendants were negligent in failing to provide plaintiff a safe place to exit the bus. That as a result of being dropped off several feet from the curb, Reape claimed he stepped into an unseen pothole causing him to fall and sustain an avulsion fracture to his right foot.
