Re: Our Client: David Hahn
Date/Accident: 3/29/88
NOTICE OF INJURY AND CLAIM OF DEMAND
Dear Sirs:
Please be advised that our client was seriously injured on the above
date, and his car was totalled completely with over $8,000.00
worth of dammaga when he approached.Redhill at Warne£. Apparently,
on that day at approximately 11:00, the city was making repairs
to the lights and the lights were in a blinking position. They
were blinking both for Warner and for Redhill. There were no
warnings that the lights were, in fact, being worked on. There
were no signs and no cones. As our client stopped and then made
a lawfull turn going from Redhill to Warner, he was hit by another
car who claims that he didn't know the red lights were blinking
on and off. He merely thought that the light had turned green.
Our client has sustained medical dammage in an amount undetermined
at this time, but for settlement purposes, he would settle with
the city for the cost of his car which appears to be $9,500.00
to replace it, and for $10,700.00 in medical bills and pain and
suffering.
Please consider this our notice, as required under the hundred
day rule to the municipality of the City of Tustin.
.,
Sinc~erely yours,
/
