INC. 19. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff's Complaint fails to state a cause of action upon which relief may be granted against Defendant, Fisher Auto Parts, Inc. On the contrary, Plaintiff's Complaint specifically pleads a cause of action against Defendant Fisher Auto Parts for negligence and/or vicarious liability upon which relief may be granted by this Honorable Court, which allegations of Plaintiff's Complaint are incorporated herein by reference thereto. Strict proof of Defendant's allegation is demanded at trial. 20. Denied. It is denied the Plaintiff's action is barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Rather, the subject action was timely filed by Praecipe for Writ of Summons filed with the Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas on February 8, 2001, which is within the applicable two (2) year statute of limitations from the date of the subject accident, February 26, 1999, which Writ of Summons was timely and properly served upon Defendant. Strict proof of Defendant's allegation is demanded at trial. 21. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff has failed to mitigate her damages and on the contrary at all times relevant hereto Plaintiff has acted as a reasonably prudent person in attempting to mitigate her damages resulting from the injuries which she , , '~' " ::;:. -, ,'~,- "~> -- ',~,~,--, '""'--"" 1-,' suffered in the subject accident as a result of Defendant's negligence. Strict proof of Defendant's allegation is demanded at trial. 22. This is a conclusion of law which no responsive pleading is required. To the extent that a response or pleading is required, the allegations of this paragraph are denied. It is denied that Plaintiff was negligent or careless in the occurrence of this subject accident or denied that any negligence on the part of Plaintiff, which negligence is specifically denied, was active and primary in the occurrence of the subject accident and Plaintiff's resulting injuries and damages. It is further denied that the negligence of answering Defendant was secondary and passive in comparison to any negligence by Plaintiff in the occurrence of this subject accident and denied that Plaintiff's Complaint is barred as a result. On the contrary Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that said accident and her resulting injuries and damages were caused solely by the negligence of Defendant Dietterick and/or the negligence of Defendant Fisher Auto Parts, Inc. or that the negligence and carelessness of Defendants was equal to or greater than any alleged negligence by Plaintiff in the occurrence of the subject accident and Plaintiff's resulting injuries and damages. Strict proof of Defendant's allegation is demanded at trial. 23. Admitted and denied. It is specifically admitted that any medical expenses incurred by Plaintiff which were paid or payable by the motor vehicle insurance carrier which provided motor vehicle insurance coverage to Plaintiff at the time of the subject accident are not recoverable against Defendant in this action given the provisions of the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law. It is denied that Plaintiff cannot make a claim or recovery against Defendant for medical expenses which she has incurred in excess of the medical benefits paid or payable to her under her motor vehicle insurance policy in effect on the date of this accident. Strict proof of Defendant's allegation is demanded at trial. 24. This is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is required. To the extent that a response of pleading is required it is admitted that the Pennsylvania Comparative Negligence Act applies to the subject action. It is denied 2 iJ , '_'0' - '"-, ,',. '- '';:, ". 1 0<1 that Plaintiff was in any way negligent or careless in the occurrence of the subject accident or her resulting injuries and damages and therefore denied that any recovery to which Plaintiff is entitled in this action should be reduced pursuant to the provisions of the Pennsylvania Comparative Negligence Act. Strict proof of Defendant's allegation is demanded at trial. 25. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff was negligent in failing to yield the right of way to all vehicles on the roadway in accordance with 75 Pa. C.S.A. Section 3543 and denied that any negligence by Plaintiff, which negligence is specifically denied, was the proximate cause of the subject accident and her resulting injuries and damages. On the contrary Plaintiff believes and avers that she exercised due care of a reasonably prudent person when she was crossing said roadway and that said accident and her resulting injuries and damages were caused solely by the negligence and carelessness of Defendant(s), which allegations of negligence and carelessness are fully set forth in Plaintiffs Complaint and are incorporated herein by reference thereto. In the alternative, Plaintiff avers that any casual negligence on her part was less than or equal to the casual negligence of Defendants. Strict proof of Defendant's allegation is demanded at trial. 26. This is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is required. To the extent that a responsive pleading is required the allegations of this paragraph are denied. It is denied that Plaintiff blindly attempted to cross the street without exercising a proper lookout for vehicles on the roadway and denied that Plaintiff was negligent as a matter of law under the facts and circumstances of this accident. On the contrary Plaintiff believes and avers that she was exercising reasonable care of an ordinarily prudent person at the time of the subject accident, was not in any way negligent or careless in the occurrence of the subject accident, and that said accident and her resulting injuries and damages were caused solely by the negligence and carelessness of Defendant(s), which allegations of negligence and carelessness are fully set forth in Plaintiffs Complaint and are incorporated herein by reference thereto, or that any negligence on Plaintiff's part, which negligence is specifically denied, was 3 :"" , " - " --~-'" _'",~ "_ "..'' ~'" oi;, -z" ':__v-_" .."\,',"';:,.",, ,.,' ,'~ -.-,y.,,~:-'~ ,~,--,-; .1'; equal to or less than the negligence and carelessness of Defendants in the occurrence of this accident and her resulting injuries and damages. Strict proof or Defendant's allegation is demanded at trial. 27. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff negligently failed to look for Defendant Dietterick's vehicle on the roadway prior to her crossing the roadway, and on the contrary Plaintiff believes and avers that when she began crossing the roadway, she did look for oncoming vehicles on the roadway and that it was safe for her to proceed to cross the roadway when said accident occurred solely as a result of the negligence and carelessness of Defendants, which allegations of negligence and carelessness are fully set forth in Plaintiff's Complaint and are incorporated herein by reference thereto. Strict proof of Defendant's allegation is demanded at trial. 28. Admitted and denied. It is admitted that the provisions of the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law apply to the subject action. It is denied that Defendant is entitled to any defenses provided for by the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law given the facts and circumstances of the subject action. Strict proof of Defendant's allegation is demanded at trial. 29. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff's cause of action or right of recovery is barred or modified by the doctrine of assumption of risk as applied in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. On the contrary, assumption of risk is no longer a viable defense in a negligence action under the law of Pennsylvania. It is further denied that at the time of the subject accident that Plaintiff knew or should have known that Defendant(s) would be negligent and careless or that Plaintiff knew the extent of injuries and damages which she would suffer as a result of Defendant(s)' negligence and carelessness. Strict proof of Defendant's allegation is demanded at trial. 30. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff was in any way negligent or careless in the occurrence of this subject accident and her resulting injuries and damages and rather Plaintiff believes and avers that at the time of the accident that she was using due care of a reasonably prudent person under the circumstances and that said accident and her resulting injuries and damages were caused solely by the negligence 4 ",'" ,-,,-,,-,-,.'.-" '~, ' <, ,'~ -.. , " ~ - '. ,",--' ,-"-,~,'-,:;; ,-;.,~ - ~ ,1" "::; and carelessness of Defendant(s), which allegations of negligence and carelessness are fully set forth in Plaintiff's Complaint and are incorporated herein by reference thereto; in the alternative Plaintiff avers that any causal negligence on her part, which negligence is denied, was equal to or less than the causal negligence of Defendants. The specific allegations of this paragraph are denied as follows: a. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff negligently covered her head with clothing which obstructed her vision or look out at the time of the subject accident; b. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff failed to maintain a proper lookout prior to or while crossing the street at the time of the subject accident; c. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff was in any way negligent or careless in walking across the roadway at the time of this accident and denied that Plaintiff negligently crossed the roadway between vehicles parked along the side of the street so as to shield her from the view of approaching motorists, and on the contrary the subject impact occurred in Defendant Dietterick's lane of travel which was the far side of the roadway from the side of the roadway from which Plaintiff crossed the subject roadway and therefore Plaintiff believes and avers that she was in plain view to Defendant Dietterick as he was approaching on the roadway if Defendant Dietterick had been keeping a proper lookout and that said accident and her resulting injuries and damages were caused solely by the negligence and carelessness of Defendant(s), which allegations of negligence and carelessness of Defendants are fully set forth in Plaintiff's Complaint and are incorporated herein by reference thereto; d. Denied. Plaintiff incorporates herein by reference thereto her Answer to Paragraphs 25, 26, and 27 above; e. Denied. Plaintiff incorporates herein by reference thereto her Answer to Paragraphs 25, 26, and 27 above; and f. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff ran out in front of Defendant Dietterick's approaching vehicle at the time of this accident or that the manner in which she 5 "i _'-__1'":_ ~ : '-' -- ;;.,;-~~ - ,~ " _ r._ " '0, i"OC, - ,''..", ,~.

Strict proof of Defendant's allegations is demanded at trial. 31. This is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is required. To the extent that a responsive pleading is required, the allegation of this paragraph is denied. It is denied that Defendant is not liable to Plaintiff under the theory of sudden emergency. On the contrary, Plaintiff believes and avers that the sudden emergency doctrine does not apply to the facts of the subject action and/or that any sudden emergency with which Defendant Dietterick was presented at the time of the subject accident was caused by Defendant Dietterick's own negligence and carelessness in the operation of his motor vehicle at the time of this accident, which allegations of negligence and carelessness are fully set forth in Plaintiffs Complaint and are incorporated herein by reference thereto. Strict proof of Defendant's allegation is demanded at trial. 32. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff was in any way careless or negligent in the occurrence of the subject accident or that any negligence or carelessness on Plaintiffs part, which negligence and carelessness is specifically denied, was a proximate cause of the subject accident and her resulting injuries and damages. Rather Plaintiff believes and avers that said accident and her resulting injuries and damages were caused solely by the negligence and carelessness of Defendant(s), which allegations of negligence and carelessness are fully set forth in Plaintiffs Complaint and 6 ~-,,", , ~ ',~ '- ,,"'- ":,-, O' .
