SEPTA Bus Passenger Suffers Injuries After Driver Slams on Brakes to Avoid Collision

A 58-year-old woman was riding a SEPTA bus when another vehicle cut the bus off, forcing the driver to slam on the brakes and throw her to the floor.

Video footage captured the incident, and the client required ambulance transport to the emergency room followed by seven months of physical therapy. Although SEPTA attempted to blame the other driver entirely, deposition testimony showed the bus operator was traveling at an unsafe speed, helping secure a favorable settlement.
