## Resource

A Florida woman, legally deaf and reliant on hearing aids and lip-reading, settled a federal lawsuit against Travis County for $92,500 after alleging she suffered a broken wrist and was denied proper accommodations during her two-night jail stay in Austin. She claimed staff ignored her communication needs, confiscated her phone, and failed to properly treat her injury — all allegedly violating the ADA. Though the county denies liability and says evidence doesn’t support the claims, the settlement closes the case and comes amid calls for better protections for people with disabilities in custody.
