The matter arises out of an intersection accident that occurred on October 18, 2008. As a
result of both parties entering the intersection at approximately the same time, the front of Mr.
Davies's vehicle impacted Ms. Swartz's driver's side door. The plaintiff sustained lacerations
which have left her with some scarring. In addition, she has made a claim for lost wages.
Following an investigation of the accident, the defendant was charged with driving under
the influence, general impairment. He pled guilty to this charge on August 18, 2009. The
plaintiff seeks to admit evidence of this conviction both as to negligence and punitive damages.
The defendant will file a motion in limine for consideration by the trial judge.
This otherwise uncomplicated trial should be of no more than two days' duration. Each
side will have the usual number of juror challenges.
