i.on
IT the following claim, a motor vehicle owned by Andres ralcon
was involved in an accident with a motor vehicle owned by
the City of Miami. This claim is in the area of doubtful
liability.
The City of Miami vs. FALCON, Andres (CV-75-063)
This accident took place on April 26, 1975, on Northwest l7th Ave.
approximately 40 fact South of Northwest 28th Street on the North-
bound lane.
Damages tc the City vehicle amounted to $190.00.
In this case the City vehicle attempted to pass on the righthand
side of the Northbound lane when the vehicle owned by Mr. Falcon
was traveling Northbound also on the Northbound lane.
Mr. Falcon states that the City vehicle sideswiped his vdh isle
when attempting to pass.
The City driver states that Mr. Falcon's vehicle attempted to make
a righthand turn into the gas station located on the southeast
corner, when he sideswiped the City vehicle.
Mr. Falcon has offered to pay the City 50% of the damages sustained
by the City vehicle in the amount of $95.00 in full and complete settle-
ment of the City's claim.
Based on recommendation of Mr. Santana of this office as well as
consideration of the doubtful legal aspect of this case, I recommend
that the above offer be accepted in full and complete settlement of
this property damage claim.
