Wilfredo and Olga Diez have filed a claim against the City of
Miami, resulting from a vehicle accident, involving a City of
Miami Police vehicle.
This accident occurred on July 5, 1977, at 9:15 A.M., on N.W. 20th
Street, near N.W. 14th Avenue, Miami, Florida.
The Police vehicle was eastbound on 20th Street in the right
traffic lane, while the claimant vehicle was eastbound in the
left traffic lane. Without advance warning, the Police vehicle
started a U-turn in the middle of a block, so that its operator
could attend what appeared to be an injured dog. As this was
initiated, the front right end of the claimant vehicle immediately
to the left of the Police unit, made contact with the left front
fender and door area. The rear of the vehicle also made contact
in this movement.
The City vehicle operator did not take proper precaution to make
sure the lanes were cleared before this action was taken.
This is a matter that we can settle for property damage, which
is found to be proper in the amount of $1,487.77.
The claimant vehicle is owned b7 Wilfredo Diez, while it is
being driven in this instance by his wife, Olga.
We are able to conclude this matter without bodily injury expense
at this point.
The itemized repairs to the vehicle are $1,487.77. The vehicle
has been repaired at Atkins Body Works and has been delivered to
the claimant at this time, with work completed in a satisfactory
manner.
