The bus driver did not notice Schachner walking just outside the marked crosswalk, attorneys said.
Schachner was hit by the bus and fell to the ground – hitting her head on the pavement, attorneys said.
Schachner was then dragged underneath the bus for 27 feet before it came to a stop on her right leg, attorneys said. She remained fully alert while stuck under the bus with her leg pinned to the pavement for about half an hour until rescuers freed her, attorneys said. Schachner suffered a severe crush and degloving injury to her lower right leg and fractures to her ankle, and has undergone multiple procedures on her right leg. She still suffers from residual pain, as well as PTSD, attorneys said.
Schachner and her husband, Tom, sued the CTA in September 2019 – claiming the agency and the driver were negligent. The CTA denied liability and said the Schachner was in the driver's"blind spot," attorneys said. But on Friday, the CTA approved a $20 million settlement reached by both parties in a December 2022 mediation, attorneys said.
