Recent Case: $700,000 Awarded to Injured O’Hare Shuttle Passenger
A 76-year-old woman was awarded $700,000 after suffering severe injuries on an O’Hare Airport rental shuttle. The shuttle bus driver’s sudden departure caused her to fall, worsening a pre-existing degenerative spinal condition and necessitating a spinal fusion at L4-L5. The lawsuit, filed in Cook County, alleged the shuttle company’s negligence in failing to ensure a smooth and safe departure for passengers.
