PORTLAND — A Portland jury awarded $476,500 to a Milwaukie, Ore., woman who broke her ankle after stepping out of an airport shuttle in the dark.
The Oregonian/Oregon Live reports Blue Star Airport Express must pay the award to 74-year-old Dorothy Kohut following the jury’s verdict Friday.
Kohut sued the company after she fell in a depression in the ground when exiting a shuttle in January 2014.
The suit claimed that the shuttle stopped about 20 feet short of her well-lit driveway, and the driver didn’t offer her assistance or a stepping stool to get out.
