Yolanda Montes was hurt when the Blue Line train crashed through a barrier at the airport station and landed on an escalator leading to the terminal.
Montes' attorney, Christopher Norem, says a jury on Friday awarded his client USD 6.6 million in a case stemming from the March 24, 2014 crash.
The early-morning crash injured dozens and caused millions of dollars in damages. It led the CTA to make operational changes, including lowering the speed of trains approaching the airport. Norem says another train passenger received a USD 4.1 million verdict last month.
