Bus driver pulls forward with the door open just as a passenger starts to exit.

… A 25-year old Asian graduate student was on a bus on New Year’s Day on her way to complete a lab assignment. As the bus approached her stop, she walked to the front. The driver opened the door but just as she began to step out the driver pulled forward and sped up with the door still open. The student was thrown headfirst out the open door onto the sidewalk. She sustained a concussion which delayed her graduate training. Earlier that day, the driver had reported to his dispatcher that he had to pull the bus over to throw up and was too sick to drive. The dispatcher refused to find him a replacement, however. The driver attributed his lack of concentration that day to his illness. The lawsuit settled on the eve of trial.
