Back on March 23, 2018, Gov. Rick Scott signed CS/HB 6527 into law. State Rep. Ramon Alexander, D-Tallahassee filed the bill during the 2018 legislative session.

According to a press release by the governor’s office: “This bill directs the City of Tallahassee to provide $500,000 in relief to Christopher Cannon for injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident caused by a City of Tallahassee Dial-A-Ride vehicle.”

The bill filed by Alexander, an alumnus of Florida A&M University, states that Cannon received a $700,000 court settlement in the case and the City of Tallahassee paid him $200,000, which was the most it provide “under the statutory limits of liability set forth in s. 768.28, Florida Statues.”

Now that Scott has signed Alexander’s bill into law, Cannon will receive the remaining $500,000 of the settlement money from the state.
