AI Summary

  • Appropriates $9 million from the General Revenue Fund to compensate three minor children—Logan Grant (age 2), Denard Maybin Jr. (age 7), and Lanard Maybin (age 5)—for injuries sustained in a May 18, 2014 accident on I-75 south of Ocala caused by Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Raul Umana

  • Logan Grant suffered severe traumatic brain injury, extensive facial fractures, and permanent impairments including left hemiparesis, with estimated future medical costs of $6,702,555 and past medical bills exceeding $310,000

  • Denard Maybin Jr. sustained severe traumatic brain injury requiring surgery and rehabilitation, with estimated future medical costs of $5,773,129 and past medical bills exceeding $175,000; both he and Logan Grant are expected to be unable to live independently as adults

  • Lanard Maybin suffered head injury, facial laceration requiring surgery, and was later diagnosed with PTSD and neurocognitive difficulties, with past medical bills of $35,584.16

  • Limits attorney fees to $1,800,000, lobbying fees to $450,000, and costs to $15,603.17; combined with the $285,000 already paid under statutory limits, this satisfies the $18 million settlement agreement and resolves all present and future claims
