STATEMENT AS TO LIABILITY Plaintiffs maintain that on September 11, 1998, Plaintiff, Charles Villareale was in the parking lot of the Metroplex Grocery Warehouse in Harriman, New York. Mr. Villareale is a commercial truck driver and he was waiting to unload his freight. At the same time and place, Defendant, Angela Westfall, who was employed by and was an agent of KLLM Transport Services, Inc., was driving a commercial tractor trailer and attempting to maneuver the tractor trailer in the parking lot. While Ms. Westfall was maneuvering her tractor trailer, her headlights were interfering with other tractor trailer operators who were attempting to dock their trailers. Mr. Villareale approached Ms. Westfall's vehicle and asked her to turn her lights off or shut off her vehicle so that other drivers could dock their trailers without interference from her headlights. Ms. Westfall became agitated and in a negligent and reckless manner sharply turned her vehicle, accelerated and drove away. While Ms. Westfall was pulling away, the running board of her tractor struck the right leg of Mr. Villareale causing lacerations, contusions and bruising of his right leg. . li11i1ln<~~~;~;~llt~~ilJ.lti ~,,_ 0' ~_ , ~r.ilI~tmf~lI~~~~~!ilriltJ~'~il~ - c-J'~ III fm_._ "11"I'jl'.iliilllJ milEn[jl..tll -,,- '""1 .ti ,--- "'e'''-_ ^ ~, ."-'.'__'.

MOTION TO STRIKE PRAECIPE FOR LISTING CASE FOR TRIAL AND NOW, the Plaintiffs, Charles Villareale and Cindy Villareale, by and through their attorneys, Ira H. Weinstock, P.C., respectfully submits this Motion to Strike Praecipe for Listing Case for Trial and in support thereof avers the following: I. This action was initiated by way of a Complaint filed on July 26, 2000. 2. The Complaint alleges negligence on behalf of both Defendants and loss of consortium with regard to an incident that occurred on September 10, 1998. 3. The case was listed for arbitration and an arbitration hearing was held on June 13, 2001. 4. At the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, a verdict was rendered in favor of the Plaintiffs and against the Defendants in the sum of $1,500.00 plus costs and interest at the legal rate from 06/26/2000. 5. A Notice of Appeal was filed by the Defendants on June 25, 2001. 6. Subsequent to the filing of the Notice of Appeal, Plaintiffs Counsel attempted to contact counsel for the Defendant, Bill Douglas, Esquire, to discuss how the case was to proceed, however, Mr. Douglas never returned Plaintiffs' counsel's call. .m 1.\lil..M' ~'""""''''~~!Ii~~i fiiIij;.~,jf.H!tlii8Iti,{l1:lL-C' ..0 , "" .~ --'.--~ ~llll " ,~ ~' ) ~, " , ^ , ,--, '""', = 0',,,,.,,,:;; ,,-,,,-,~,' "-',,,.-:', "';;" '''. ~ ,"-, ",' "f'li' 7. On December 11, 2001, Plaintiffs' counsel received a Praecipe for listing of the case for the term commencing on January 28, 2002. 8. Plaintiffs' counsel was unaware that the Defendant intended to list the case for trial since Defendants' counsel never returned Plaintiffs' counsel's phone call. 9. It is higWy unlikely that Plaintiff will be able to obtain expert testimony in support of his case for the term beginning on January 28, 2002 and therefore, contrary to the Defendants assertions, the case is not ready for trial. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court strike the praecipe for listing the case for trial by the Defendant and remove the case from the list for the term beginning January 28, 2002.

[d. 3. If you find that defendant failed to give warning when a reasonably prudent person would have done so, or failed to maintain a reasonably vigilant lookout, or failed to use reasonable care to avoid the accident, you will find that defendant was negligent.

If you find that Defendant Angela Westfall negligently caused injury to the plaintiff while acting within the scope of her authority and in furtherance of Defendant KLLM Transport's business, then Defendant KLLM Transport is legally responsible for Defendant Angela Westfall's conduct. /d.

CNIL ACTION - LAW KLLM TRANSPORT SERVICES, INC. and ANGELA WESTFALL, JURY TRIAL DEMANDED Defendants. PLAINTIFFS' TRIAL MEMORANDUM AND NOW, the Plaintiffs, Charles Villareale and Cindy Villareale by and through their attorneys, IRA H. WEINSTOCK, P,C., submits this Trial Memorandum: I. STATEMENT OF THE CASE On September 11, 1998, Plaintiff Charles Villareale was in the parking lot of the Metroplex Grocery Warehouse in Harriman, New York. Mr. Villareale is a commercial truck driver and he was waiting to unload his freight. At the same time and place, Defendant Angela Westfall, who was employed by and was an agent ofKLLM Transport Services, Inc., was driving a commercial tractor-trailer and attempting to maneuver the tractor-trailer in the parking lot. While Ms. Westfall was maneuvering her tractor-trailer, her headlights were interfering with other tractor-trailer operators who were attempting to dock their trailers. Mr. Villareale approached Ms. Westfall's vehicle and asked her to turn her headlights off or shut off her vehicle so that other drivers could dock their tractor-trailers without interference from Ms. Westfall's headlights. Ms. Westfall became agitated and in a negligent and reckless manner sharply turned her vehicle, accelerated and drove away. While Ms. Westfall was pulling away, the running board of her tractor-trailer struck the right leg of Mr. Villareale causing lacerations, contusions and bruising of his right leg. II. QUESTION PRESENTED Under New York law, does Defendant Angela Westfall become negligent per se when Defendant struck Plaintiff with Defendant's tractor-trailer and Defendant did not give Plaintiff, who was standing close by, any warning that Defendant was going to move her tractor-trailer? III. ARGUMENT A. DEFENDANT ANGELA WESTFALL WAS NEGLIGENT PER SE IN THE OPERATION OF HER TRACTOR-TRAILER AND, THEREFORE, PLAINTIFF IS ENTITLED TO DAMAGES. Section 1146 of the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law provides: "... every driver of a vehicle shall exercise due care to avoid colliding with any . . . pedestrian. . . upon any roadway and shall give warning by sounding the horn when necessary." - Section 1146 invokes a statutory duty upon drivers to exercise due care to avoid colliding with any pedestrian on any roadway. Kane v. US., 189 F.Supp.2d 40 (S.D.N.Y. 2002). Under New York law, due care is that care which is exercised by reasonably prudent <bivers. Id. 2 ., ~H--, .. "_ '", . Here, Defendant Angela Westfall did not act as a reasonably prudent driver in the operation of her tractor-trailer. A motorist has a duty to keep a reasonably vigilant lookout for pedestrians, to sound their horn when a reasonably prudent person would do so to warn a pedestrian of danger and to operate their vehicle with reasonable care to avoid colliding with a pedestrian on the roadway. Merrill v. State, 442 N.Y.S.2d 352, 110 Misc.2d 260 (N.Y. Ct. Cl. 1981), affirmed 453 N.Y.S.2d 383,89 A.D.2d 802, affirmed 453 N.Y.S.2d 384, 89 A.D.2d 802. Here, Defendant breached her duty to act as a reasonably prudent driver when Defendant did not attempt to avoid striking Plaintiff with her tractor-trailer. Further, Defendant breached her duty to act as a reasonably pmdent driver when Defendant did not give Plaintiff any warning that she was about to move her tractor-trailer. Under New York law, a violation of a statute that imposes a specific duty constitutes negligence per se. Elliott v. City of New York, 95 N.Y.2d 730, 724 N.Y.S.2d 397,747 N.E.2d 760,153 Ed. Law Rep. 751 (N.Y. 2001). In that Defendant has violated Section 1146 of the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law, Defendant is negligent per se. Even though it is clear that Defendant has violated the above-mentioned statute, Plaintiff is required to establish a causal connection between the violation and injury before liability can attach. Sheehan v. New York, 40 N.Y.2d 496, 387 N.Y.S.2d 92, 354 N.E.2d 832 (N.Y. 1976). Neglect of a duty imposed by statute does not establish negligence, presumptively or otherwise, unless it is shown that obedience to the provision would have obviated the injury. Phass v. MacClenathen, 85 N.Y.S.2d 653, 274 A.D. 535 (N.Y.A.D. 3 Dept. 1948). 3 , ~., . ,', .,,,-," .~, ' < ""'L This may not require the same degree of proximate causal connection that is usually required in the field of negligence. Daggett v. Keshener, 134 N.Y.S.2d 524, 284 A.D. 733 (N.YAD. I Dept. 1954). It is within the permissible scope oflegislation to impose liability for wrongful acts which have a practical or reasonable causal connection with injuries sustained, although the sequence of events would not satisfY the rule of proximate cause in the law of negligence. ld. Thus, when the plaintiff is one of the class intended to be protected by an ordinance, a lesser standard of proof of proximate cause is necessary. Lein v. Czaplinski, 484 N.Y.S.2d 154,106 A.D.2d 723 (N.Y.A.D. 1984). Here, Plaintiff is within the class of persons intended to be protected by Section 1146 of the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law in that this statute was invoked to protect pedestrians and Plaintiff was a pedestrian when Defendant struck Plaintiff with her tractor-trailer. Defendant was the proximate cause of Plaintiffs injuries in that Defendant did not attempt to avoid striking Plaintiff nor did Defendant warn Plaintiff that she was about to move her tractor-trailer. If Defendant had complied with the above-mentioned statute, Plaintiffs injury would have been avoided. As the direct and proximate result of the negligence per se of Defendant, Plaintiff sustained a laceration and bruising to his right leg, medical expenses, and lost wages. In addition, Plaintiff Cindy Villareale was deprived ofthe care, companionship, consortiwn and society of her husband Charles Villareale. R DEFENDANT KLLM TRANSPORT IS VICARIOUSLY LIABLE FOR THE NEGLIGENCE PER SE OF. DEFENDANT ANGELA WESTFALL IN THAT ANGELA WESTFALL WAS ACTING WITHIN THE 4 '", '"'" SCOPE OF HER EMPLOYMENT AT THE TIME OF THE INSTANT INCIDENT. As a general rule, employers are held vicariously liable for their employees' torts only to the extent that the underlying acts are within the scope of the employment. Defendant was acting within the scope of her employment when the instant incident occurred. Defendant was operating a KLLM tractor-trailer while waiting to dock the tractor-trailer to unload freight. This act is one commonly done by a KLLM Transport employee and an act that Defendant KLLM Transport could reasonably anticipate. As such, Defendant was acting within the scope of her employment and Defendant KLLM Transport is vicariously responsible for the acts of Defendant Angela Westfall. IV. CONCLUSION In light of the foregoing, Defendant Angela Westfall was negligent per se in the operation of a KLLM Transport tractor-trailer. Respectfully Submitted, IRA H.

If this Court is required to apply New York law, the parties are also directed to submit proposed jury instructions setting forth the applicable law of New York. It is noted that the parties have raised the possibility of stipulating that the law of Pennsylvania would apply to this cause of action. Briefs and proposed jury instructions are due by close of business on July 1, 2002. Parties estimate this case will take one half day to try. There are no scheduling conflicts. However, the defendant will be traveling to Pennsylvania from Michigan, and would like a date certain for the commencement of trial. This appears to be a likely candidate to start the trial week in one of the courtrooms. Settlement discussions are ongoing. While settlement makes eminent sense, it does not appear to be likely at this point. ~~Jll . . Maggie E. Colwell, Esquire For Plaintiffs william P.
