$600,000 Settlement for Hip Fracture Injury in California Bus Boarding Accident

Kristopher Peerali, Serena Peerali, and Ali Hosseini secured a $600,000 settlement for a plaintiff who suffered a serious hip fracture after falling while boarding a public bus in California – a result Peerali Law achieved against a government transit entity that denied liability at every stage.

Our client fell while boarding the bus and sustained a hip fracture that required surgical intervention. There was no video footage of the incident, leaving the case to rest on witness accounts and the evidentiary record the firm built through discovery.

Liability and causation were contested throughout. The transit entity denied that any act or omission on its part caused the fall, and it maintained that position through every stage of the litigation. Without video evidence to rely on, our team turned to aggressive written discovery and depositions to construct a record the defense could not effectively counter. Sustained pressure through litigation and strategic negotiation kept the case moving steadily toward trial, building the leverage needed to force a resolution.

The matter resolved for $600,000.00 before our client was ever deposed – a result that reflects both the strength of the case the firm constructed and the effectiveness of its litigation posture from the outset.
