Bus Driver Receives $500,000.00

On March 20, 2001, the life of a local bus driver was turned upside down. While driving his school bus in the New Berlin School District, a vehicle suddenly crossed the center line, causing a massive accident. He was immediately taken to Froedtert Memorial Hospital with a serious leg injury. While performing surgery on his injured leg, he suffered a heart attack on the operating table. The injuries sustained required extended hospitalization as a result of this tragic accident.

At the time of this accident, our client was 70 years old. In an attempt to make ends meet, he was working three jobs. When the insurance company first looked into the claim, they attempted to argue that he should not be compensated for the heart condition because, although he had no symptoms, it must have been there before the accident. The insurance company says that they actually saved his life. They initially offered $300,000.00 to settle this claim. Attorney Jason F. Abraham successfully got the insurance company to compensate the bus driver for all of his injuries, including the heart attack.

Thanks to the fortitude of the client and the hard work of Attorney Abraham, this case was settled for $500,000.00.

Awarded: $500.000.00
