(1)
Maria Medina Llorente, by and through her attorney, filed a claim
against the City of Miami alleging bodily injury. The claim arose
as a result of an automobile accident between a car driven by Maria
Medina Llorente and a City Public Works Department truck. The
accident occurred on September 14, 1984 at 3:00 p.m. at N.W. 16
Avenue and N.W. 2 Street, Miami, Florida.
The Public Works truck was westbound on N.W. 2 Street at N.W. 16
Avenue, and failed to stop at a stop sign. The claimant vehicle was
southbound on N.W. 16 Avenue, a through street when its left front
end was struck by the front of the fully loaded Public Works truck.
This resulted in the claimant's vehicle, a 1980 Oldsmobile, being
declared a total loss with the City already having paid the
property damage claim.
The injuries to the claimant have been diagnosed as cervical
strain, and a thoracic -lumbar strain. A permanent disability
rating has been given at 5 to 7 per cent of the body as a whole.
The total medical expense is $3,169.00 and all medical expenses
and other items of damage have been verified as correct.
The above claim has been investigated by the Risk Management
Division in accordance with Ordinance No. 8417, which create the
City of Miami's Self Insurance Program, and said Division, together
with this office recommend that this claim be settled, without the
admission of liability, for the sum of $7,000.
