Slip and Fall accident
L/A: S.W. 12th Ct. & 8t
Street, Miami, Fla
D/As September 1, 1979
This claim arose out of an accident that occurred on
September 1, 1979, at or near the intersection of Southwest
12th Court and 8th Street.
The cause of the accident was the uneven surface be-
tween the sidewalk and an area that had been. cut out for
the placement of a tree in the sidewalk without any iron
gratings around the tree to make the level even with the
sidewalk or any bricking to make it even with the sidewalk.
As a result of the accident, the claimant, Mr. Benigno
Delgado, suffered a fracture of the mandible, as well as
abrasions and lacerations to his lips and chin.
Plaintiff's original demand for settlement was $20,000.00.
Through extensive negotiations, the amount of the demand has
been reduced and the claim can be settled for $7,500.00.
The above claim has been investigated by the City Attorney's
Office in accordance with Ordinance No. 8df17, which creates
the City of Miami's Self -Insurance Program, and the said office
recommends that the City of Miami pay $7,500.00 in settlement
of this claim to Mr. Benigno Delgado, and his wife, Mrs. Sara
Delgado.
