At JAMLAWNY, we are committed to standing up for victims when transportation providers fail to protect passenger safety. One powerful example of that commitment is the case of Mrs. Wang Xu, who suffered a life-changing injury while traveling on a casino bus in June 2023.

Mrs. Xu was a passenger on a bus traveling from New York to Connecticut when an argument broke out between her and a disturbed passenger on board. Fearing for her safety, Mrs. Xu repeatedly asked the bus driver to stop the bus and allow her to exit. Despite her repeated requests and visible concern for her personal safety, the driver refused to stop the vehicle.

Tragically, the situation escalated.

The disturbed passenger struck Mrs. Xu in the left eye with a stick, causing catastrophic injuries. She was immediately transported to the hospital, where, despite medical treatment, she ultimately lost her left eye as a result of the assault. This was a devastating and permanent injury that dramatically changed her life.

From the beginning, the casino denied responsibility and refused to engage in meaningful settlement discussions. The case became a long and difficult legal battle that required persistence, careful preparation, and strong courtroom advocacy. After several years of litigation, the case proceeded all the way to trial.
