Miami-Dade County would pay Martinez Silva’s estate $2.76 million

Miami-Dade County would have to set aside and pay $2,761,766.96 to the estate. The payment would go to the Estate of Juan Carlos Martinez Silva for his death. The county would have to use funds not already committed to other uses. The payment requirement would take effect when the bill becomes law.

Attorney fees for this claim would be capped at 25 percent of the amount awarded under the bill. These limits would cover the estate’s claims arising from the incident and attorney fees related to this claim. The county’s earlier $300,000 payment and this award would be intended as the only compensation for all present and future claims arising from the incident. These limits would take effect when the bill becomes law.
