Mr. Chin was a bus driver when he was struck broadside by another vehicle. The question put to the jury was only damages. He suffered two lumbar herniations, and a fracture and a ligament tear on his non-dominant hand. He missed approximately eight months on the job, which was a past lost wage claim of $59,000.
The Brooklyn jury awarded him $487,000.00 on January 23, 2016. While this is not indicative of similar cases, it can show that going all the way to trial, while risky, can award the plaintiff significantly.
