COMPLAINT
Now comes the Plaintiff, Douglas L. Young, by and through his attorney, H. Anthony
Adams and sets forth the following:
1.
Plaintiff is Douglas L. Young, an adult individual who resides at 44 Sandbank Road,
Cumberland County, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, 17257.
2.
Defendant is Lawrence A. Rodgers, an adult individual, who resides at 217 Brown Street,
Williamsport, Pennsylvania, 17702.
3.
On or about September 9, 2005, the Plaintiff involved in an automobile accident.
4.
The accident took place at the intersection of Pennsylvania Route 174 and the entrance
ramp to Interstate 81 in Southampton Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
5.
At that time, Plaintiff was traveling in a westerly direction on Pennsylvania Route 174
when a vehicle owned by Lawrence Rodgers failed to yield the right of way. While making a left
turn onto the access ramp of Interstate 81.
6.
It is believed that the vehicle owned by Lawrence Rodgers was being driven by his son,
Joseph A. Rodgers.
7.
It is believed and therefore averred that the automobile of Lawrence Rodgers was being
driven by his son based upon a statement made by Joseph A. Rodger on September 11, 2005. It
is not known, without the aid of discovery, if this fact is correct since the driver of the Rodgers'
car fled from the area in the car after the collision.
8.
If the car owned by Lawrence Rodgers was in fact being driven by him, he was negligent
in failing to operate his car in a reasonable manner with due regard for the safety and welfare of
other motorist including, of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code Section 3322.
9.
The act of the Defendant in failing to yield the right of way to the Plaintiff was the direct
and proximate case of injury to Plaintiff.
Count II
10.
It is believed and therefore averred that in exchange for the entry of Joseph A. Rodgers
into the Cumberland County ARD program, an agreement was made that all restitution would be
paid for the incident related herein.
11.
Plaintiff asserts that he is the sole beneficiary of that agreement and that the agreement
was made to obtain Plaintiff's acquiescence in the entry of Joseph A. Rodgers into the program.
Count III
12.
Defendant, Lawrence A. Rodgers was negligent in lending his car to Joseph A. Rodgers.
13.
Defendant, Lawrence A. Rodgers, in entrusting his vehicle to his son, Joseph A. Rodgers;
to the ability of Joseph A. Rodgers to operate the vehicle and to obey the laws of the
Commonwealth, did so without due regard to the manner in which the vehicle would be used.
14.
If he was the driver, Joseph A. Rodgers drove the vehicle in a manner that was negligent
and the proximate cause of the injuries of Plaintiff.
Damages
15.
As a direct and proximate result of the actions of the Defendant, the Plaintiff suffered an
injury to his legs, contusion to his knee and thigh, and has an area on his right knee which is
numb and has altered sensation.
16.
As a result of the actions of the Defendant the Plaintiff has incurred medical expenses, lost
wages, property damage, pain and suffering.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays your Honorable Court enter judgment in his favor and against
Defendant in an amount n excess of $25,000.00.
