FRANKLIN CHANG
Defendant.
COMPLAINT
AND NOW comes the Plaintiff, PAUL HASTING TEXACO FOOD MART, by and through
its undersigned counsel, Weber Gallagher Simpson Stapleton Fires and Newby, LLP, Patricia Haas
Corll Esquire, and files the following Complaint in Civil Action against the Defendant as follows:
FACTS
Plaintiff, Paul Hasting Texaco Food Mart, is an entity physically located and doing
business at 6573 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17050.
2. Defendant, Franklin Chang resides at 5350 Baltimore Drive, #56, La Mesa California.
3. At all times relevant hereto, Plaintiff was located at the above address and engaged in the
business of running a gasoline station with a convenience mart.
4. At all times relevant hereto, Defendant, Franklin Chang, was driving a 2001 minivan
bearing license plate BZG1869 owned by and rented from Forresters Lincoln Mercury.
5. On or about July 12, 2001, at approximately 9:35 a.m., Defendant was driving the above-
referenced minivan on SR 11 (Carlisle Pike) southbound between SR 114 and Old Willow Road. In
this area, SR 11 has two lanes going southbound. Defendant was traveling in the right hand lane and a
vehicle driven by Harold B. Cassell was in the left hand lane going south.
As the aforementioned vehicles approached the location of the Plaintiff Texaco Food
Mart, Defendant Chang negligently made a left hand turn from the right hand lane in an apparent
attempt to enter the location. In the process, Chang negligently struck the vehicle being driven by Mr.
Cassell, driving both vehicles from the roadway and across the parking area of the convenience store
into a gasoline island and set of gasoline dispenser pumps.
7. This impact caused property damage in the amount of $1,911.09.
COUNTI
Plaintiff v. Franklin Chang
8. Plaintiff incorporates paragraphs one through seven above by reference as if set forth
more fully herein.
9. The aforementioned damages were the direct and proximate result of the Defendant
Chang's negligence, carelessness, recklessness, and or intentional conduct more specifically described
as follows:
a) Driving a vehicle in careless disregard for the safety of other persons
by operating a vehicle in a manner that was too fast for the traffic and
weather conditions; failing to maintain his lane of travel; and making a
left hand turn from the right hand lane thereby colliding with the vehicle
driven by Cassell driving both vehicles into the property of the Plaintiff,
Texaco Food Mart.
b) Failing to use reasonable care by operating a vehicle in a manner that
was too fast for the traffic and weather conditions; failing to maintain his
lane of travel; and making a left hand turn from the right hand lane
thereby colliding with the vehicle driven by Cassell driving both vehicles
into the property of the Plaintiff, Texaco Food Mart .
c) Driving said minivan in a manner that violated- the ordinances of
Silver Spring Township and the statutes of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania governing the safe operation of motor vehicles on the
streets and highways by operating a vehicle in a manner that was too
fast for the traffic and weather conditions; failing to maintain his lane of
travel; and making a left hand turn from the right hand lane thereby
colliding with the vehicle driven by Cassell driving both vehicles into the
property of the Plaintiff, Texaco Food Mart.
d) Failing to be attentive when driving by operating a vehicle in a
manner that was too fast for the traffic and weather conditions; failing to
maintain his lane of travel; and making a left hand turn from the right
hand lane thereby colliding with the vehicle driven by Cassell driving
both vehicles into the property of the Plaintiff, Texaco Food Mart.
e) Failing to yield the right of way when driving by operating a vehicle
in a manner that was too fast for the traffic and weather conditions;
failing to maintain his lane of travel; and making a left hand turn from the
right hand lane thereby colliding with the vehicle driven by Cassell
driving both vehicles into the property of the Plaintiff, Texaco Food
Mart.
10. As a direct and proximate result of the aforesaid negligence, carelessness, recklessness
and/or the intentional conduct of Defendant Franklin Chang, Plaintiff sustained damage to its property
in an amount not in excess of $1,987.69.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment in its favor and against Defendant in an amount of
$1,987.69 together with interest, costs of suit, delay damages and such other relief as this Court deems
appropriate under the circumstances.

PAUL HASTING TEXACO FOOD IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
MART, CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Plaintiff
V. CP No. 04-536
(Arbitration Division)
FRANKLIN CHANG,
Defendant
RESPONSE WITH NEW MATTER
1. The defendant is without sufficient information and
belief to respond to this allegation.
2. Admitted.
3. The defendant is without sufficient information and
belief to respond to this allegation.
4. It is admitted that Franklin Chang was driving the
vehicle and that a third party rented it from Forresters Lincoln
Mercury. The owner is unknown.
5. Admitted except the inference that the two mentioned
vehicles were driving together. The vehicle driven by Mr. Cassell
was initially far behind the vehicle driven by Mr. Chang.
6. Denied. While Mr. Chang was turning into the subject
service station (having already moved into the left lane) with his
two front wheels already on the service station's ground, the left
rear portion of his vehicle was hit by the vehicle driven by Mr.
Cassell. Mr. Cassell's vehicle, which was speeding, slammed into
the vehicle driven by Mr. Chang, forcing the vehicle to travel
approximately twenty feet into a gas pump, though Mr. Chang was
applying the brakes. Had Mr. Cassell been driving the appropriate
speed and in a prudent and careful manner, there would have been no
collision.
7. The defendant is without sufficient information and
belief to respond to this allegation.
8. No response is necessary.
9. Paragraph 9 and its subparagraphs are denied for the
reasons stated in paragraph #6 above.
10. It is denied that Mr. Chang caused the damage. Mr.
Chang is without sufficient information and belief to know the
amount of the damage.
NEW MATTER
11. The Defendant hereby incorporates paragraphs 1
through 10 of his Answer as if set fully herein.
12. The Defendant asserts the Statute of Limitations
affirmative defense. The subject incident occurred on July 12,
2001. A Complaint was filed at the District Justice level on July
15, 2003 (the hand-written date) or July 25, 2003 (the date stamped
on the Complaint). The Complaint was not served upon the Defendant
at that time. The Statute of Limitations is only tolled by filing
the pleading within the applicable time and promptly serving the
pleading.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests this Court to dismiss
Plaintiff's Complaint.
Respectfully submitted,
