INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM

City Commission
SUIIJECT Claribel Matteo, Plaintiff
? 2 vs. the City of Miami, et al,
/ Defendants
FROM George F. Knox, Jr. R@ERENCES Circuit Court Case #76-27933
City Attorney (40) - D/A: 8/14/76
f NCLOSURES: P/A: S. Dixie Highway
& S.W. 19th Avenue
This claim arose from an automobile accident wherein Claribel
Matteo was a passenger in a motor vehicle which was driven
northbound on South Dixie Highway which struck a large puddle,
lost control and ran into a concrete wall. Shortly before this
accident occurred a similar accident was investigated by the
Miami Police Department. Unfortunately, no warning devices
were left at the scene after the first accident.
As a result of the accident, Claribel Matteo, broke several
ribs, fractured her jaw, broke a tooth and fractured her
pelvis. She incurred $11,818.60 in medical expenses. She
will incur approximately $2,500.00 for future cosmetic sur-
gery. Medical expenses and other items of damage have been
verified. After extensive settlement discussions and nego-
tiations, it has been determined that this matter can be
settled for $5,000.00. The State of Florida is contri-
buting an additional $25,000.00 to settle this claim.
The above claim has been investigated by the City Attorney's
Office and in accordance with Ordinance No. 8417, which
created the City of Miami Self -Insurance Program, we re-
commend that the attached Resolution be adopted authorizing
payment in the amount of $5,000.00.
