November 21, 2006 : Robert MacMahon Gains Nonsuit in Vehicle Accident Trial
Robert MacMahon, a partner in the Firm's Philadelphia office, recently obtained a nonsuit on behalf of a bus operator in a dart-out case that proceeded to trial in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The case involved a claim by a college student, who was struck by a car after getting off the bus. The passenger alleged negligence on the part of the bus driver in letting the plaintiff off in a no-parking zone. The plaintiff, who suffered a severely fractured leg that had to be repaired with a rod and screws, demanded $250,000 to settle prior to trial.
