COMPLAINT
1. Plaintiff, Nicholas J. Rylatt ("Rylatt"), is an adult individual who resides at
15 Weaver Drive, Marysville, Pennsylvania 17053.
2. Defendant, Weis Markets, Inc. ("Weis"), is a Pennsylvania corporation
with its home corporate office located at 1000 South Second Street, Sunbury,
Pennsylvania 17801.
3. Defendant, Charles H. Delong, Jr. ("Delong'), is an adult individual
residing at RD 1 Box 233, Winfield, Pennsylvania 17899.
4. At all times relevant to this action, Defendant Weis employed Defendant
Delong as a tractor trailer driver.
5. On or about November 2, 1999, at approximately 12:59 p.m.,
Rylatt was travelling southbound on Route 11 in East Pennsboro Township.
6. Rylatt brought his vehicle to a complete standstill at a red light in the
left-hand lane at the intersection of Routes 11 & 15 and Valley Road.
71821
7. At approximately the same time, a tractor trailer driven by Defendant
Delong was travelling northbound in the opposite lane on the other side of the median.
8. Upon information and belief, the tractor trailer driven by Defendant
Delong was owned by Defendant Weis.
9. Suddenly and without warning, the tractor trailer driven by Defendant
Delong struck another vehicle, "jack-knifed", and began to head toward Rylatt's
vehicle.
10.
The tractor trailer operated by Defendant Delong impacted Rylatt's
vehicle at the joint of the driver's side door and the front fender.
11. The force of the impact pushed Rylatt's vehicle across the lane and into
the curb on the right-hand lane.
12. As a direct and proximate result of the acts and/or omissions of the
Defendants as more fully set forth below, Rylatt suffered, among other things, a midline
fracture to his left clavicle, back strain, hypotension, nausea and vomiting, neck pain,
shoulder pain and hip pain.
13. Upon information and belief, as a direct result of the November 2, 1999
incident, which is the subject of this action, Defendant Delong was cited for and pled
guilty to careless driving, a violation of 75 Pa.C.S. § 3714.
14. As a result of the aforesaid occurrence, Rylatt suffered great pain,
suffering, and loss of life's pleasures, and will continue suffer for an indefinite time in
the future, to his great detriment and loss.
2
15. As a further result of the aforesaid occurrence, Rylatt has been obliged to
receive and undergo medical attention and care and to incur various expenses, and he
may be obliged to continue to expend such sums or incur such expenditures for an
indefinite time in the future.
16. As a further result of the aforesaid occurrence, Rylatt has lost time at
work, resulting in, among other things, lost wages, lost vacation time, and of the
interest which would have accrued on the contribution to his retirement fund.
17. Rylatt has met the requirements of §1705 of the Motor Vehicle Financial
Responsibility Law.
