North Miami Beach City Council Approves $200,000 Settlement in Carl J. Anderson Case
- Meeting Overview:
In a recent North Miami Beach City Council meeting, the council approved a $200,000 settlement in the lawsuit involving Carl J. Anderson versus the City of North Miami Beach. This decision followed recommendations from external legal counsel and the city’s insurance carrier, which found the settlement economically sensible.
During the meeting, the city attorney emphasized that the insurance company provided competent legal representation through Mr. Crest, who recommended settling the case due to the potential financial risks involved if the case were to proceed. The insurance carrier agreed to cover a portion of the proposed settlement, bridging a gap of $50,000 to $60,000.
The settlement terms were negotiated by Mr. Crest, with additional input from a partner at the city’s legal firm, Aman Johnson. They addressed concerns about specific clauses, such as non-disparagement, which were resolved favorably for the city. The council’s motion to accept the settlement was approved unanimously.
