JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
PLAINTIFF'S REPLY TO DEFENDANT'S NEW MATTER
AND NOW come the Plaintiff, by and through her attorneys, Angino & Rovner, P.C., and
hereby replies to the New Matter of Defendant as follows:
19. Denied. This averment is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is
required. To the extent that a response may be deemed proper, it is specifically denied that
Plaintiff's Complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. To the contrary, it is
averred that Plaintiff's claim sufficiently sets forth a claim for negligence in the operation of a
motor vehicle and creating a dangerous condition of the highway for which the named-Defendant is
responsible.
20. Denied. This averment is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is
required. To the extent that a response may be deemed proper, it is specifically denie& Plaintiff's
case arises out of a motor vehicle accident which occurred on November 1, 1999 as set forth in
Plaintiff's Complaint. Plaintiff`filed suit by a Writ of Summons in Cumberland County on October
29, 2001 and served on the Defendant on November 19, 2001. Thus, Plaintiff's Writ of Summons
was filed within the two-year anniversary of the accident and served on the Defendant within 30
days as required by Pennsylvania statute and Rules of Civil Procedure. Thus, Plaintiff's claim was
filed within the two-year statute of limitations provided by 42 Pa.C.S.A. §5524 pursuant to the
Rules of Civil Procedure for service.
241330.1 ~IEK\MMM
21. Denied. This averment is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is
required. To the extent that a response may be deemed proper, it is specifically denied that the
Doctrine of Assumption of the Risk or comparative or contributotily negligence applies. At that
time of the accident, Plaintiff Kathy Delgrande was a passenger in a motor vehicle and had no
responsibility or control over the motor vehicle that she was tiding in. Plaintiffmaintains, therefore,
she cannot be held comparatively or contributorily negligent when the driver of the vehicle she was
a passenger in struck an object in the highway which was negligently dropped and allowed to
remain there by the Defendant. Plaintiff further maintains that the Doctrine of Assumption of the
Risk is inapplicable to Plaintiff's claim.
22. Denied. This averment is a conclusory statement unsupported by any factual
statements. It is specially denied that the allegations of negligence set forth in Plaintiff's Complaint
were not caused by the Defendant or individuals over whom the Defendant had control. This is
further rebutted by Defendant's own answer to paragraph 6 of Plaintiff's Complaint in which it is

JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
PLAINTIFF'S REPLY TO ADDITIONAL DEFENDANT'S NEW MATTER
AND NOW come the Plaintiff, by and through her attorneys, Angino & Rovner, P.C., and
hereby replies to the New Matter of Defendant as follows:
9. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1030 provides that a party may set forth as
New Matter any material facts which are not merely denials of the avexments of the preceding
pleading. Additional Defendant's incorporation of her answers to paragraph 1-8 of the
Complaint filed by the original Defendant Valley Quarries for the most part appears to be either
admissions or denials of the corresponding paragraphs of the Defendant's complaint and
therefore no response is required by Plaintiff Kathy Delgrande.
10. Denied. This averment is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is
required. To the extent that a response may be deemed proper, it is specifically denied that Plaintiff
Kathy Delgrande's claims are barred either in whole or in part by the provisions of the Pennsylvania
Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law.
244986.1 hMEKWIMM
11. Denied. This averment is a conclusory statement unsupported by any factual
statements. To the extent that a further response may be deemed proper, it specifically denied that
Plaintiff's injuries and damages, which are set forth in her Complaint, pre-existed the motor vehicle
accident. To the contrary, it is averred that Plaintiff's injuries and damages as set forth in the
Complaint are a direct and proximate result of the motor vehicle accident or an aggravation of a pre-
existing condition.
12. Denied. This averment is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is
required. To the extent that a response may be deemed proper, it is specifically denied that Plaintiff
Kathy Delgrande is seeking to recover any sums paid or payable for any group plan, or other
arrangement governed by § 1722 of the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law.
13. Denied. Plaintiff Kathy Delgrande was not required to plead specifically her tort
selection. However, Plaintiff was covered by the full tort option. Additionally, Plaintiff Kathy
Delgrande did plead that her injuries may be of a permanent nature causing residual problems for
the remainder of her life and therefore she maintains that she did sufficiently aver that she had
suffered a serious impairment ora bodily function.
14. Denied. It is specifically denied that an Additional Defendant can preserve a
defense merely by making reference to it in New Matter. The Rules of Civil Procedure require that
the material facts upon which a defense is based must be plead. By way of further response, it is
specifically denied that the defense of assumption of the risk is applicable to a motor vehicle
accident claim, especially where the Plaintiff is a passenger. Additionally, the defense of
244986.1~VIEKhMMM
contributorily negligence does not exist under the circumstances which existed at the time of the
accident and as set forth in the Plaintiff's Complaint.
15. Denied. This averment is a conclusory statement which is not supported by any
factual statements. It is further incorrect in that it states that the jurisdictional limit for arbitration in
Cumberland County is $35,000. To the contrary, it is averred that the jurisdictional limit in
Cumberland County is $25,000. By way of further response, it is specifically denied that Plaintiff's
damages do not exceed the jurisdictional amount necessary for requesting a jury trial.
16. This averment is addressed to Valley Quarries and therefore no response is required
by Plaintiff Kathy Delgrande. By way of further response, Plaintiff Kathy Delgrande maintains that
Defendant Valley Quarries was responsible for the injuries which Plaintiff sustained as set forth in
Plaintiff's original Complaint.
17. This averment is addressed to another party and therefore no response is required by
Plaintiff Kathy Delgrande.
18. Admitted.
19. Admitted.
20. Plaintiff Kathy Delgrande is unable to confirm or deny Additional Defendant's
allegation that she was driving at or below the posted speed limit. The police accident report
suggest that the Additional Defendant had estimated her speed as 50 miles per hour.
21. Plaintiff Kathy Delgrande is not certain what the Additional Defendant means by the
allegation that road and weather conditions were favorable. Plaintiff Kathy Delgrande will admit
that there were no adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, fog, or other weather which
244986.1 ~vlEK'xMMM
would have affected Additional Defendant Jump's driving. It is further admitted that the roadway
was dry, however, construction was being undertaken on the highway with one lane closed as set
forth in Plaintiff's Complaint.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffrespectfully request that this Honorable Court dismiss
Additional Defendant's New Matter enter judgment in favor of Plaintiff and against Additional
Defendant.
