$4.1M claims bills for pedestrian who lost leg in Metrobus crash move to Senate, House floors

Legislation clearing the remainder of a $4.3 million settlement between Miami-Dade and a man who lost one of his legs after a county bus struck him in late 2021 is two floor votes away from passage.
Twin bills (SB 14, HB 6521) just advanced through their final Committee stops in the Senate and House with unanimous support.
Both now await full votes in their respective chambers.
The bills stem from a Dec. 16, 2021, crash in which a Metrobus driver drove into Jose Correa while he was legally using a crosswalk at the intersection of Bird Road and LeJeune Road.
The crash resulted in catastrophic injuries, including a below-the-knee amputation.
SB 14 and HB 6521 are claims bills, a special classification of legislation intended to compensate a person or entity for injury or loss due to the negligence or error of a public officer or agency.
Bills sponsored, respectively, by Sen. Ana Maria Rodriguez and Rep. Omar Blanco, both Miami Republicans — would authorize the county to pay the remaining $4.1 million. It also limits attorneys fees and lobbying fees tied to the award to 25% of the total compensation.
