A jury awarded our client $2,800,000. Our client, a 31 year old woman, was crossing

a crosswalk in Chicago when a Chicago Transit Authority bus made a left hand turn

and struck her in the crosswalk.  She was taken to a local hospital where she spent

three days.  She injured her low back and suffered a herniated disc.  She underwent physical

therapy, then injections.  Neither cured her pain.  Her orthopedic surgeon opined at trial

that our client was a candidate for lumbar fusion surgery.
