In this particular personal injury case, a 28-year-old CTA bus driver was awarded a large settlement following a minor bus accident in Chicago, IL. Even though the defendant admitted responsibility for the auto accident, her insurance company rejected the idea that G.K.’s shoulder injury resulted from this minor impact collision.
