A $1.06 million settlement was paid on Feb. 4 in Donoso v. Universe Transportation Corp., a Hudson County injury suit filed against a bus company by a passenger who fell while in transit.
On July 24, 2017, plaintiff Lourdes Donoso boarded a small private transit bus owned by Universe Transportation Corp. of Fairview and driven by company employee Justino Basora at 69th Street and Bergenline Avenue in Guttenberg.
