Attorneys Cole Dixon and Aaron Eken Secure $5.3 Million Jury Verdict
October 2025
Minneapolis, MN – October 9, 2025 – Schwebel, Goetz & Sieben attorneys Cole Dixon and Aaron Eken secured a $5.3 million jury verdict on behalf of their client who lost his lower left leg in an accident with a Metro Transit bus.
The accident occurred as our client was attempting to board the bus at Lake Street and 3rd Avenue in Minneapolis. As he approached, the driver closed the doors and pulled away from the curb. When our client tapped on the side of the bus to get the driver’s attention, he was knocked down and sustained severe injuries to his left leg requiring below-the-knee amputation.
Metro Transit denied liability throughout and never made a settlement offer.
Outstanding work by our trial team in holding them accountable and securing justice for our deserving client!
