$1.5 Million Settlement for a Pedestrian Killed by an MTA Bus

How Much Is My Case Worth?(212) 268-3222

Raphaelson & Levine recovered a $1.5 million wrongful death settlement after an MTA bus struck and killed a pedestrian in a crosswalk a few blocks from her home. The crash was in 2018. The case settled in 2021.

A fatal evening walk

Our client was out for an evening walk when she entered a crosswalk a few blocks from home. An MTA bus driver failed to yield and struck her. She died from her injuries. The driver was issued a violation under New York City’s Vision Zero program.

What we proved

Partner Howard Raphaelson located the EMT who responded to the scene and took that testimony. In Kings County Supreme Court, we showed the bus driver was 100 percent at fault and recovered a $1.5 million settlement for her family in 2021.
