SKETCHES OF COURT for May 12
In this courtroom sketch, Hon. Francois Rivera listens as an orthopoedic surgeon uses a visual aid during testimony to explain aspects of meniscus tear surgery to the jury in the trial of Pamela Singh v. Boro Transit, Inc.
The case was brought about after a collision between a school bus and an ambulette. The plaintiff, represented by Ken Ready of the law firm Kenneth J. Ready & Associates (standing, left), was at the wheel of an Access-A-Ride ambulette at the intersection of East 18th Street and Avenue R in the June 2008 accident, when her vehicle and a Boro Transit school bus collided. Both drivers claimed to have had the green light and there were no independent witnesses. The plaintiff’s vehicle was struck on the driver’s side.
Plaintiff is suing for past and future medical care costs, lost earnings and pain & suffering after she underwent several subsequent surgeries, including surgery to her left arm and three to her knee, including a total knee replacement in 2010.

While Brooklyn has become the epitome of ‘cool and hip’ in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been ‘uncool’.
