HELEN BRAITHWAITE,

: IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
: CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
: CIVIL ACTION - LAW
v.
,
"
CAROLYN KIRK
Defendant
: NO. 97-638
: JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
DEFENDANT'S ARBITRATION MEMORANDUM
On January 5, 1996, Carolyn Kirk was traveling south on Locust P~lnt Road In
Sliver Spring Township. At thattlma, she ran Into the rear of an 011 truck being operated by
John J. Macura, an employee of J.J. Skelton 011 Company. On the date and time of the
accident Carolyn Kirk was traveling with a passenger, Helen S. Braithwaite. As a result of the
accident, Braithwaite has alleged she was Injured and has made a claim against Carolyn Kirk.
The negligence of the Defendant Is not an Issue. Carolyn Kirk, through counsel,
has admitted her liability In the form of a stipulation.
The sole Issue for the arbitration panel's consideration Is the extent of damages,
II any, sustained by Helen Braithwaite. Testimony will show that Braithwaite has complained of
a fracture on her right hand, back pain and headaches as a result of the accident. She al,so has
Indicated that she was bruised at the time 01 the accident. The Defendant would object to any
testimony regarding a TMJ complaint. No report has ever been received by the Defendant to
sllbstantlate the causation between this accident and any TMJ allegation. The Defendant
, believes thattesllmony by the Plaintiff regarding any visits to Dr. Robert Beaudry would also be
Inadmissible.
, ;
Helen Braithwaite was admitted to Holy Spirit Hospital on January 5, 1996, She
was discharged on January 10, 1996. The various records from Holy Spirit are attached a~
Exhibit "N' and Incorporated herein by reference thereto,
Once she was discharged, she followed up with her orthopedic physician for
treatment of her fracture at the second metacarpal. Those records are attached as Exhibit "B"
and Incorporated herein by relerence thereto. These records Indicate that by January 22, 1996 .
she was "doing very well". By February 5, 1996 the note Indicates that "Helen returned and she
Is doing well. Her fracture stili has a little bit of tenderness at the base but she Is getting along
nicely." The last record the Delendant possesses Indicates that she appeared on March 4,
1996. On that date the note reads "Helen returned and she Is doing reasonably well. She stili
has a lot of tenderness over the base of her second metacarpal. Therefore I h\lve x-rayed her
again and the x-rays show the Iracture to be In good position. The doctor's plan was that "She
Is going to Increese her activities. I will see her back only If she Is having difficulties with her
hand." No treatment occurred following March 4, 1996 for any hand-related complaints.
Further, at no time did Braithwaite ever treat for any back or headache complaints. No mention
Is made to the treating orthopeqlc physician of any back-relatad complaint.
Braithwaite also treated with Susquehanna Surgeons. However, that treatment
did not represent anything substantive. Dr. Rolando A. Casal Indicated that there "was no
,evidence for Intrathoracic or Intra-abdominal Injuries." (A copy of the note of Dr. Casal Is
attached as Exhibit "C" and Incorporated herein by reference thereto.
Lastly, the Defendant had Braithwaite examined by John R. Zeleznock regarding
the "TMJ complaint". Zeleznock's report Indicates that "She did not sustain ~ny TMJ Injuries as

Dear Mr, Gover: ..
, ,
,
, ,
Prior to my examinatIon of Mrs, Braithwaite, 1 revIewed the following /!ledlcal records:
I. Holy Spirit HospItal
2, Susquehanna Surgeons, l.T,D.
3. Richard Baal, M.D.
4. Robert Beaudry, D.M.D.
"
5. Keith Haidet, M.D.
6. Thomas Yucha, M,D.
7. Susan Phillip, P,T.
,
,
Mrs, Braithwaite was Involved In a MY A on January 5, 1996, as a seat-belted
passenger struck from the rear, She was transporte9 to Holy SpirIt Hospital via
ambulance. She was examined and treated at the E.R. and admitted as an inpatient. Her
complaint, at that time, was left facial and forehead pain, along with hand pain and
possible cardiac contusion, Examination by Dr, Casal revealed tenderness and abrasions of
the left cheek, forehead and left frontal scalp and eccymosls of the left periorbital area.
There was no blurred vision, dizziness, nausea or vomiting. A CT scan of the skull
revealed no evidence of any facial fractures, She remained In the hospital following
treatment for 5 days. During her entire hospital stay and post-operative treatment, there
was nu TMJ wmplalnt. l3y her 0\111 accr)unt she cont3c.ted her attC'rl'icy In .I~tc Aprfl of
1997, who promptly referred her to Dr, Beaudry, She was examined by Dr, Beaudry on
..
May I, 1997, He noted bilateral clicks and recommended an MRI, An MRI was
completed that revealed moderately displaced disc with capture upon opening. Dr.
Beaudry recommended a full lower denture. however, no definitive treatment was
recommended.
Mrs, Braithwaite was examined In my private office on May 4, 1998, accompanied by
her daughter Linda Neal. She Is a pleasant Individual In no apparent distress and answered
all questions In a very honest manner, She presented with a full maxillary denture, but has
not worn a lower denture for 20 years. By her own account, she had no dental
complaints including the TMJ, until two weeks prior to the visit to Dr. Beaudry. Her chief
complaint during my examination was the click with very little discomfort. Hand pressure
on the symphysis area of the mandible exerted In a posterior direction was negative for any
TMJ pain or discomfort. Finger pressure at the condylar head during open and closing
2
3, Mrs. Braithwaite does exhibit bllatc!ralldentkal cllcI(s, however, one must be aware that
40.60 o/~ of the adult palpation experience asystomatlc dicks,
4, Her long-term use of maxillary denture without a mandibular denture presents a malor
occlusal discrepancy that can account for her bilateral clicks.
5, Mrs, Braithwaite has a nann'll tunctlonlng TMJ desp!te the fa't shl! does not,wear 3
mandibular denture,
..
6, Any acute Injury severe enough to alter the position of the disc would havl;! been
evident Immediately following the accident.
Sincerely I
