Partner John Wynne Achieves Summary Judgment and Dismissal on Behalf of Firm’s Client, MTA Bus Company

Partner John Wynne obtained summary judgment and dismissal of all claims in favor of the firm’s client, MTA Bus Company. The plaintiff alleged that she was a passenger on a bus which lurched forward and collided with another vehicle, resulting in back injuries that resulted in a spinal fusion. In this case, Mr. Wynne presented the testimony of the bus operator along with a video recording taken from the bus which demonstrated that the plaintiff and co-defendant vehicles’ claims that the bus abruptly entered traffic were false. The co-defendant, a motorist, told responding police that she swerved to avoid hitting the bus. Under cross-examination by Mr. Wynne, the co-defendant recanted her prior testimony and admitted to swerving to avoid another vehicle to her left while the client's bus was stationary. All claims against the MTA were dismissed as a result of the evidence and arguments presented by Mr. Wynne.

This is yet another successful result from Barry McTiernan & Moore, whose attorneys have a wide range of experience in high-profile and difficult liability cases.
