FL S0064

Authorizes the City of Hollywood to pay Ronald Miller $1,047,989.71 as compensation for injuries sustained in a July 30, 2002 vehicle collision caused by negligent city employee Robert Mettler.

Miller sustained two herniated disks in his neck and torn ligaments in both knees requiring multiple surgeries, with future medical needs including bilateral knee replacements estimated at approximately $100,000 per surgery every 7-13 years.

Provides that the total payment ($1,047,989.71 plus the $100,000 already paid under Florida Statutes section 768.28) constitutes sole compensation for all present and future claims arising from the incident.

Limits attorney's fees, lobbying fees, costs, and similar expenses relating to this claim to no more than 25 percent of the amount awarded under the act.
