3 A Thare's not a good correlation to that,
4 Some individuals are in terrible accidents where
5 cars are crushed and they fortunately walk away
6 trom them, whereas other individual II are in
7 accil1ents where there seem to be very minor
6 damage, yeL they have significant problems
9 following the accident.
10 0 Now, did YOII have an oocasion to examine
'11 Mr. Simpson when you first mitt him?
12 I\. Yes, I did.
13 0 What did that examination reveal?
14 I\. That he was almost five foot, seven
15 inches tall and weighed 134 pounds and was
16 muscular, especially Qut through his shoulders.
17 He was not using a cane or any other type of
18 assistive device such as that.
19 In the neck he complained of tenderness
20 on pal.pation, especially in the upper part of the
21 neck. and also then down out towards the
22 shoulder-s. There was virtually full range of
23 motion of his neck. But at the extremes of
24 motion, he did complain of. a pulling sensation.
25 In his low back there was tenderness down

2 He also had 1I0me disoomtort into his neck
3 as well, whioh would radiate towards the
4 shoulders, but that was not as muoh of a problem
5 for him as hill back problems.
6 He desoribed to me how he had a home
7 axercise program whioh he had reoeived from a Or.
a Cho, And he was trying to perform that program,
9 including a walking program as well,
10 I also reviewed with him his job. He was
11 working for a company where he was moving
12 furniture, especially mattreslles, and was no
13 longer doing that job because of his problems with
14 back pain.
15 He noted that because of his back pain he
16 would take three to four Advil every day but did
17 not like to take medications.

in Liml~., Rather, the que.tion is whether a lay witnee. may qive
an opinion, ba..d upon hi. or her own r.lb..rvation., .. to the
apparent phyl10al oondition ot another penon. The appellate
oourt. in this Commonwealth have long held that .uoh evidenoe i.
not only germane and relevant, but admiloible.
I" Baum v. Metr,gp.glitan Lite Insuranoe co., 144 Pa.Super
37, 19 A.2d 486 (1941), the pennsylvania superior Court: .l:ahd
thatl
our appellate oourts and those of our
.i.ter .tate. have oonuistently held that a
lay witness may testity as to oertain matters
,lnvolving health, the apparent physioal
oondition of a person, and to obvious
symptome, but his testimony must be oonfined
to faots within his knowledge, and may not
eKtend to mBtters involving the eKistenoe or
non-edstenoe of a disease, which ill only
disooverable through the training and
eKperience of a medical expert. [citations
omitted. ]
A oopy ot this opinion is attaohod hereto, inoorporated herein by
reterenoe and marked all Exhibit "A". This pronounoement wu cited
with approval in the Pennsylvania supreme Court deei.ion in
Travellers Ins. Co. v. Hepp~nJtall co., 300 Pat 433, 1S1 A,2d SOg
(1948). The supreme Ccurt held thatl
A ler witness may testifY as to the apparent
phys Oftl oondition ot a person, he is barred
only as to matters inVOlving the existenoe or
non-existence of s disease the dilloovery ot
whioh requires the training and existenoe of a
medical expert. [Citations omitted.]

A oopy of .aid opinion i. attlohld hereto, inoorporated herein by
rehrenoe and marked u Ewhibit 'B',
In 1970, the Penn.ylvania superior Court adopted the
Federal Rule~ ot Evidenoe approaoh with respeot to lay opinion.,
~ewill v. Mellor, 393 A,2d g41 (Pa,Super, 1978), In ~ewill, the
Court determined that a lay witness may give opinion baaed upon
hia/her own observations so long as the prottered opinion would
help the jury in its deliberations and would not oontuse, mislead
or prejudioe the jury, More reoently, the Pennsylvania superior
Court similarly held thatl
A lay witness' opinion testimony is admissible
so long as it is based on his/her perooption
of that which he/she observes and would be
helpful in olarlfying an ultimate taot tor the
trier,
~oKee v. Evanll, 551 A.2d 268 (Pa.super. 1988),
Aooordingly, Pennsylvania law permits Mr. Steimer, as a
lay witnells, to opine, based upon his own personal knowledge and
observation as to whether there was any apparent injury sustained
by the deoedent, Plaintiff'S olaims that this would in essenoe
permit the deoedent to 'te&tifY trom the grave' and to do so without
the right of cross examination, while theatrical, is simply not
true.
The witl1ess, MI.'. steimer, will be available for oross
examination,
plaintiff will have amplo ohanoe to tOllt
Mr. steimer's observations and recolleotions. Moreover, ~ll ot the
points raised by Plaintiff in his Motion and Memorandum, appear to
- 3 -
b. lIound bu.. ror 0l.'0" lI>1amination, Iloweyel.', they do not rendn
Mr, steimer" te.timony inadmillible, while it i. true that any
tact that tende ,to di.prove the plaintitfl. oa.e i. "pl.'ejudioial"
to the plaintiff, luoh 'prejudioe," do.. not make the evidanoe
inadmi..ible and in fact, as set forth above, the court. or thi.
commonwealth have reooqni~.d, for more than 150 years, the ability
ot a lay witness to testity as to his or hsr own peroeption of
anather'e physioal oondition.
II, conolullion
For the reasons stated above and in liqht of. the
preoedent oited in support thereof, Oefendants, Harvey steimer, Jr.
and Dorothy Ruppert, Co-Ewecutorll of the E.tate ot Wilbur

HARVEY STEIMER, JR., and I

Defendants I JURY TRIAL DEMANDEO
MEMORANDUM OF LAW OF DEFENDANTS,
HARVEY STEIMER, JR. and
DOROTHY RUPPERT, oo~executor8 ot the
Estate of WILBUR PITTENTURF. IN OPPOSITION
TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION IN LIMINE TO EXCLUDE
PHOTOGRAPHS DEPICTING VE~LAR DAMAGE
I. At'lIument
Plaintitf contends that liability is not at i..us in this
ce.e, However, as evidenced by the written stipulation entered
into betWeen counsel, Defendants' deoilldent, before his death,
stipulated that he was negligent in the operation of his motor
vehiole. Left open, however, wus the issue of sublltantial factor.
Obvioullly, unless and until the jury determines that Plaintiff has
established that the negligenoe of Detendants' deoedent was a
substantial factor in bringing about his harm, Defendantll are not
liable to Plaintiff.
Interelltingly, Plaintitf attaches to his Memorandum of
Law supporting the Motion, excerpts of testimony of Plaintifr.'B
treating physicians, David C. Baker, M.D. and John S. BomalaBki,
M.D. Whilill these documents are not properly before the Court
beoau.. they are not part at the reoord in this oase, the testimony
by Dr, Baker certainly supports the defense 'II position and points
out tho wisdom of at loast one appellate deoision in this
commonwea 1 th .
Neither dootor was qualified as an exper.t J.n biomeohanics
or eng ineer inlJ. Dr. Baker is an orthopedio surgeon and
Or. Bomalaski is a rheumatologist/internist. Accordingly, their
'opinion' as to the significanoe of vehicular damage invades the
province of the jury. Furthermore, the jury will undoubtedly be
instructed in aocordanoe with the Pennsylvania standard J~
IJui.truotiolUl that they are free to acoapt or reject any opinion
oftored by any expert. 'rhese issues aside, however, in response to
a question posed by Plaintiff's counsel, Dr. Baker testified that
'. . . if somebody tells me . . . they were in an acoident and the
bumper was damaged, that doesn1t give me on idea of what for.oe was
transmitted direotly to thom .,' 'l'hat is preoisely Why
photographs of vehioular damage are necessary, to till in the
missing pieces.
Il1 Cree v. Ho.rn, 1339 A.2d 446 (Pa.Super. 1988), the
superior Court was askod to rule upon whether the trial court erred
in admitting into evidenoe photographs of tho vehicles and
permitting oounsel to argue inferences from the lack of physioal
damage. In affirming the decision of Judge Sheely of cumberland
county, the Court noted that the admission of evidenoe is within
the sound disoretion of the trial oourt. ~ at 450. The Court

In oivil oa._" suoh as this one, the plaintiff has the
burden of provinq those oontentions whioh ent~tle him to relief.
When a par.ty has the burden of proof on a partioular
issue, his or her oontention on thllt issue must bo establi$hed by
a fair preponderllnoe of the ovidencQ. The evidenoe eotabliBheB a
oontention by a fal.r preponderanoe of the evidenoe if you are
persuad$d that it is more probablY aoourate and true t~an not.
To put it another WilY, think, it you will, of an ordinar.y
balanoe soale, with a pan on eaoh side. Onto one side of the
80alo, plaoe all of the evidenoQ favorable to the Plaintiffl onto
the other, plaoe all of tho ovidence favorable to the DefendantB.
If, after oonsidering the oomparable weight of the evidenoe, you
feel that the soales tip, ever so slight:.1Y or to the slightest
degree, in favor of thlil Plainti tt, your verdiot 'Rust. be for the
Plaintiff. If the soales tip in favor of the Defendants, or are
equally balanced, your vllrdiot must be for the Defendants.
In this case, Plaintiff has the burden of proving that
Mr. Pittenturf's negligence was a substantial faotor in bringinq
about his harm. If, ofter oonsidering all of the evidenoe, you
feel persuaded that these propositions are more probably true than
not true, your verdiot must be for the plaintiff. otherwise, your
verdict shOUld be for the DOfendants.
