Roman Austin Personal Injury Lawyers - Clearwater Law Firm

CLEARWATER, Fla., July 26, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Roman Austin Personal Injury Lawyers has successfully obtained a $3 million settlement for their client, Maria Garcia, from the Pinellas County School Board. Garcia was struck by a school bus, leaving her with severe injuries and disability. This settlement came as the result of a legislative process that overcame Florida's sovereign immunity damage caps, which initially restricted Garcia's compensation to $200,000.

After the passage of a claims bill that was sponsored by Senator Darryl Rouson and Representative Linda Chaney, founding attorney Mark Roman, a Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer, said, "We are incredibly grateful to the Florida legislature and Governor for helping our client obtain justice after her devastating bus accident." The bill, Senate Bill 4, was signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis on June 9, 2023.

Roman's partner, John Austin, also remarked on the case, stating, "Maria Garcia can finally begin to rebuild her life. We were honored to fight for her and her family in this difficult time."
