A Greyhound bus was driving northbound on I-57 in Franklin County, Illinois, on the way to Chicago. The bus side-swiped a fire truck that was parked partially in the shoulder and partially in the roadway. Tamesha, a passenger on the bus, hurt her neck and back in the accident. Tamesha underwent a neck fusion surgery almost a year after the accident.
After Greyhound denied Tamesha's claim, she hired Vujasinovic & Beckcom to represent her. Suit was filed in Harris County, Texas.
Greyhound and its lawyers denied that the accident caused any injury to Tamesha. They hired an accident reconstructionist, a biomechanic, and two orthopedic doctors who claimed Tamesha could not have been hurt in the wreck. V&B hired experts in the same fields who contradicted the opinions of the experts hired by Greyhound. In addition, V&B obtained the testimony of the investigating troopers and some of the bus passengers, and ultimately proved the accident was Greyhound's fault.
V&B obtained a settlement for Tamesha at mediation. The amount was confidential. Tamesha was very pleased with the settlement.
