The bill proposes to provide financial relief to Jose Correa, who sustained severe injuries due to the negligence of a Miami-Dade County bus driver. The incident occurred on December 16, 2021, when Mr. Correa was lawfully crossing a street and was struck by the bus, resulting in significant injuries, including a below-knee amputation. Following a lawsuit filed against Miami-Dade County, a settlement agreement was reached for a total of $4.3 million, of which $200,000 will be paid by the county, with the remaining $4.1 million contingent upon the passage of this claim bill.

To facilitate this compensation, the bill includes several key provisions. It declares the facts stated in the preamble to be true and authorizes Miami-Dade County to appropriate $4.1 million for Mr. Correa's injuries. Additionally, it stipulates that the total compensation from the county and the amount awarded under this act will serve as the sole compensation for all claims related to the incident. Furthermore, it limits the total amount paid for attorney and lobbying fees to no more than 25 percent of the total awarded amount. The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law.
