Woman Receives $20 Million for Injuries Suffered After Being Hit by Chicago Bus

A woman who was struck and dragged by a Chicago Transit Authority bus in Streeterville in 2019 has received a $20 million settlement for her injuries, attorneys said Friday.

Diane Schachner, 59, was walking toward the intersection of Fairbanks Court and Ontario Street on Aug. 2, 2019 – and when she crossed the street, a bus turned left from Ontario onto Fairbanks, according to the law firm Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard.
