Edward di Vietro and Josephine Alvarez have filed a claim directly
against the City of Miami, without legal representation. This in-
volves bodily injury, resulting from an automobile accident involving
a vehicle assigned to the Finance Department.
The property damage claim has been settled earlier, allowing us to
maintain control of the claim.
This accident occurred on January 19, 1977, at about 1:30 P.M., at
or near Northeast 79th Street and Biscayne Blvd., Miami, Florida.
The claimant vehicle was operated by Edward di Vietro, with a
Josephine Alvarez as a passenger in the front scat. The City
vehicle was immediately to the rear of the claimant vehicle, which
was in process of making a left turn. Claimant vehicle was required
to stop because of a pedestrian in the crosswalk when the City
vehicle left front end made contact with the right rear end of the
claimant vehicle.
The special damage information on these claimants is listed below.
Edward di Vietro received a sprain of the dorsal lumbosacral spine,
as well as a sprain of both shoulders. The treating physician rated
the injury at five percent disability of the body as a whole.
Medical Expense: $1, 053 . 00
Drugs: $ 61.15
Total Special Damages: $1,114.15
This individual is the owner and operator of a garment store and
lost some time from the business.
This claim can b2 settled in its entirety for $3,500.00 of which
should pay $1,053.00 directly to the treating physician, Paul

City of Miami
Josephine Alvarez received a contusion of the Skull, cervical
sprain, sprain of both shoulders and was also rated at 5% per-
manent partial disability.
Medical Expense: $ 1, 178.00
Drug: $82.09
Total: $1,260.09
It should ba noted that Ms. Alvarez is the business partner of
■ Mr. di Vietro.
This claim can also ba settled for a total of $3,500,00 with a
Direct Payment out of the above mentioned figure, $1,178.00
payable to Dr. Glassman.
This will dispose of all claims resulting from the captioned
accident.
The claimants will be leaving this area to spend some three or
more months in Europe, which brings about a rather distressing
problem as far as settlement is concerned. If this is not settled
now, they will turn this over to their Attorney. The loss of
control will add more cost to these claims.
