A Fulton County Superior Court jury has awarded a woman $250,000 for the injuries she suffered while riding a Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) bus.

On Sept. 10, 2018, plaintiff Pamela Youmous, 66, was a passenger on a transit bus that was traveling on Peachtree Street, in Atlanta. The bus driver came to a sudden stop. Youmous, who was sitting at the front of the bus, was propelled forward and grabbed onto a pole with her right arm to prevent her from falling out of her seat. She claimed that she injured her neck and ribs.

The case is Pamela Youmous v. Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, No. 2019CV319251.
