The family of a New Jersey man who died in 2018 when\nhis car was struck by a school bus as he was driving to work will receive a $7\nmillion settlement in connection with his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harry McCracken III, 49, of Williamstown, N.J., was killed on Feb. 12, 2018,\u00a0when a school bus struck the driver’s side of his Honda Accord<\/a> at Tuckahoe and Glassboro roads in Monroe Township, Gloucester County, according to a Feb. 21 story by NJ.com<\/em>. No students were aboard the bus at the time of the 4:15 p.m. crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lisa M. Davidson, of Glassboro, N.J., who was driving the\nStudent Transportation of America school bus, was cited for disregarding a\ntraffic signal and later pleaded guilty to a summons, the story reported. The\nguilty plea, which was entered in November 2018 was made “with civil\nreservation,” meaning it could not be used against her in a civil lawsuit,\nthe story continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The victim, who was married and had two teenage\ndaughters, was heading to work as a warehouse supervisor when the bus traveled into\nthe intersection and smashed into his car, which had a green light, the story\nreported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After investigating the bus driver’s work history, the\nplaintiff’s attorneys found that she had a history of school bus accidents,\nsuspended licenses and terminations and should not have been driving a school\nbus on the day of the crash, according to the story. The driver had been fired\nby three student transportation companies, including a previous firing from the\ncompany where she worked on the day of the fatal crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The settlement was reached with the bus company without a\nlawsuit being filed after both sides agreed to mediation in December. The settlement\nwas reached after two months of talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Legal\ncases like this one occur around the nation every day and are examples of\nsimilar kinds of car crash cases that MyPhillyLawyer<\/em> attorneys\nregularly work on tirelessly for our own clients.
