PLAINTIFF'S REPLY TO NEW MATTER
29. This is a paragraph of incorporation to which no response is required.
30. Defendant's averment is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is required.
To the extent the averment may be deemed factual, it is hereby specifically denied. By
way of amplification, Defendant's averment lacks the specificity required by the
Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. Further, all of Plaintiff's injuries and damages
were caused solely and directly as a result of the negligence, carelessness, wantonness
and recklessness of the instant Defendant.
31. Defendants' averment is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is required.
To the extent the averment may be deemed factual, it is hereby specifically denied. By
way of amplification, Plaintiff was not negligent in any way. Therefore, the Pennsylvania
Comparative Negligence Act does not apply to the instant action. Further, all of Plaintiffs
injuries and damages are recoverable in the instant action and are in no way reduced.
32. Defendants' averment is a conclusion oflaw to which no responsive pleading is required.
To the extent the averment may be deemed factual, it is hereby specifically denied. By
way of amplification, Plaintiff's Complaint does state a claim against Defendants upon
which relief may be granted.
33. The averment of this paragraph is a conclusion oflaw to which no responsive pleading is
required. By way of amplification, all of plaintiff's claims are not barred by the statute
of limitations.
34. The averment of this paragraph is a conclusion oflaw to which no responsive pleading is
required. By way of amplification, all of plaintiff's claims are not barred by the
Doctrines of Res Judicata and/or Collateral Estoppel.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests this Honorable Court to dismiss
Defendant's Answer and New Matter and enter judgment in her favor against the Defendant.
