The lawsuit filed by plaintiffs Christopher Clark and Tracy Clark against defendants Kyra Rose Ohrt and Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) in the County Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of Florida, Pinellas County, under case number 24-001044-Cl on March 5, 2024, seeks damages for a motor vehicle collision. The Clarks are represented by an unnamed attorney and are seeking less than $50,000 in damages. The complaint alleges that on January 20, 2022, defendant Ohrt was operating a motor vehicle owned by PSTA negligently and carelessly, causing a collision with the plaintiffs' vehicle.
The plaintiffs claim that at the time of the incident, they were residents of Treasure Island, Pinellas County, Florida. Defendant Ohrt was either a resident of Pinellas Park or a non-resident who had concealed her whereabouts. PSTA is identified as an independent special district established under Florida law. The collision occurred in Pinellas County.
The complaint further alleges that prior to filing this action, the plaintiffs presented their claim in writing to PSTA as required by Fla. Stat. §768.28(6). However, PSTA denied the claim by failing to make a final disposition within six months.
In their suit, the Clarks demand judgment against both defendants for damages not exceeding $50,000 plus costs of proceedings and any other remedy allowable by law.
