A paraplegic man struck by a bus while crossing the street settled his Mercer County suit, Urbina-Mejia v. Gaskill, on Aug. 14 for $4.1 million.

According to court documents and attorneys involved in the case, plaintiff Eder Francisco Urbina-Mejia on Jan. 15, 2018, was waiting to cross Atlantic Avenue at Montpelier Avenue in Atlantic City. Urbina-Mejia and a commercial bus driven by defendant Lloyd Gaskill were traveling in the same direction and were stopped at a red light. After the light turned green, Urbina-Mejia proceeded to cross in the crosswalk, and Gaskill made a left turn, striking him in the crosswalk.
