Davis of the New Jersey personal injury law firm of Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., has obtained a $700,000 settlement on behalf of a developmentally disabled Pompton Lakes woman who was alleged to have been sexually touched as a teen by a school bus driver.
Davis filed the lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court in Bergen County (Hackensack) in October 2010 against the school bus operator, Laidlaw Educational Services, Inc. (Case No. L 009738 10).

The case settled on the day before trial was to begin.
