A jury ordered the city of Miami Beach to pay more than $800,000 to a moped rider who was injured in a traffic collision with a city employee.

In 2016, Juan Abanto, 41, stopped his moped at a red light on Tenth Street at Alton Road. The car in front of him was driven by a city parking-enforcement officer. Abanto claimed the driver reversed the car, which struck his right leg and caused him to twist his body to avoid impact. He was diagnosed with a torn labrum at his right shoulder and two herniated spinal discs, among other injuries.
