A 72-year-old man whose left foot was amputated after he was struck by a New Jersey Transit bus agreed to a $2.5 million settlement in his Essex County suit, Almeida v. New Jersey Transit Corp., on July 6.
Antonio Almeida was struck on Aug. 3, 2015, while he was crossing the street and the bus was making a left turn from Ferry Street onto Union Street in Newark. He suffered a crush injury to his left foot that necessitated amputation, according to his lawyer, Paul da Costa of Snyder Sarno D’Aniello Maceri & da Costa in Roseland.
