Council to approve $110,000 settlement in city vehicle crash case
Summary
The council was presented a recommendation by the law department to approve a $110,000 settlement in a personal injury lawsuit arising from a December 2022 collision with a Transportation and Public Works vehicle.
Assistant City Attorney Isobel Calleja briefed council on item 16, recommending the city approve a settlement payment of $110,000 in Ada Michelle Lewis v. City of Austin, a personal injury lawsuit arising from a December 2022 accident involving a Transportation and Public Works vehicle.
Calleja told council the settlement would resolve all claims arising from the accident and would result in dismissal of the suit filed in Travis County district court. She said the law department recommended the payment based on the facts and exposure presented to council and that she was available to answer questions; no substantive questions were raised during the presentation and the council moved forward.
The settlement amount and dismissal terms were read into the record during the consent agenda discussion and the council proceeded without further debate.
