PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS OF DEFENDANTS
AND NOW COME the above-named Defendants, by and through their counsel, the law
firm of Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin and pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(1)
and 2179 file the following Preliminary Objections:
1. Plaintiffs filed a Complaint on April 26, 2005 contending Defendants were negligent
in the maintenance of an outside sidewalk on February 11, 2003.
2. Specifically, Plaintiff, John Stone, alleges that he slipped on ice on the sidewalk at the
Radisson Penn Harris Hotel and Convention Center located at U.S. Route 11 and 15, Efford
Road, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
3. According to Plaintiffs' Complaint, the Radisson Penn Hams Hotel and Convention
Center is a "business entity" doing business within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
specifically at the Camp Hill address in Cumberland County. (See Complaint at para. 3).
4. Plaintiffs further allege that Defendant, Penn Lodge Partners, L.P., d/b/a Radisson
Penn Harris Hotel and Convention Center, is a "Limited Partnership" also conducting business at
the Camp Hill address in Cumberland County. (See Plaintiffs' Complaint at para. 4).
5. Finally, Plaintiffs allege that Defendant, HMC Hospitality Management Corporation
is in fact a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and that it, collectively with the other two Defendants, owned and possessed the
hotel at the Camp Hill, Cumberland County address.
However, HMC Hospitality Management Corporation does not own the Radisson Penn
Harris Hotel, nor is it a corporation organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. HMC
Hospitality Management Corporation is a Texas-based corporation.
6. Plaintiffs reside in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. The incident, according to the
Complaint, occurred in Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
7. For purposes of venue regarding corporations or similar entities, Pa. R.C.P. 2179
requires that an action against a corporation or similar entity may be brought in and only in "the
county where its registered office or principal place of business is located; a county where it
regularly conducts business; the county where the cause of action arose; a county where a
transaction or occurrence took place out of which the cause of action arose."
A "corporation or similar entity" is defined in Pa. R.C.P. 2176 as "any public, quasi-public or private corporation..
limited liability company, ... or any other association which is regarded as an entity distinct from the members
composing the association ... ."
8. In the instant matter, Defendants are subject to jurisdiction in Cumerbland County,
Pennsylvania. That is where their principal place of business is located within the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and it is also the County in which Defendants regularly conduct
business and where the cause of action arose. Defendants do not regularly conduct or transact
business within Lackawanna County. Therefore, Defendants respectfully request this case be
transferred to Cumberland County, the County with proper venue. This request is made in
compliance with Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(1), 1006(e) and 2179(a). In accordance with the
Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, the cost of transfer to Cumberland County are to be paid
by Plaintiffs.
9. See Affidavit of William Sullivan, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer of Hospitality Management Corporation, supporting transfer of venue from Lackawanna
County to Cumberland County, Pa.
WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request this Honorable Court transfer venue of
this case from Lackawanna County to Cumberland County and that the costs of such transfer be
borne by Plaintiffs.

JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
PLAINTIFFS' REPLY TO DEFENDANTS' NEW MATTER
AND NOW come the Plaintiffs, by and through their attorneys, Angino & Rovner, P.C.,
and hereby replies to the New Matter of Defendants as follows:
22. Denied. This averment is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is
required. To the extent that a response may be deemed proper, it is specifically denied that Plaintiff
John Stone was negligent in any manner upon the cause of action stated in Plaintiffs' Complaint
and, therefore, it is denied that the Doctrine of Contributory Negligence or Comparative Negligence
is applicable to Plaintiffs' claim. By way of further response, it is specifically denied that Plaintiff
John Stone observed the dangerous condition created by the ice on the sidewalk prior to his fall, and
it was only after he fell on the isolated patch of ice that he was aware that the condition existed.
23. Denied. This averment is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is
required. To the extent that a response may be deemed proper, it is specifically denied that the
Doctrine of Assumption of the Risk is applicable to Plaintiff John Stone's claim. By way of further
response, it is specifically denied that Plaintiff John Stone was aware of the dangerous condition,
that he understood and appreciated the dangers and risk of injury posed by the condition or that he
voluntarily and consciously encountered the dangerous condition in spite of this knowledge. To the
contrary, it is averred that Plaintiff John Stone was not aware of the dangerous condition created by
the patch of ice and, therefore, did not encounter a known danger.
24. Denied. This averment is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is
required. To the extent that a response may be deemed proper, it is specifically denied that Plaintiff
John Stone was aware of the dangerous condition created by the isolated patch of ice and that
Plaintiff John Stone observed the condition prior this fall. Plaintiff John Stone was not aware that
the dangerous condition existed because there were no adverse weather conditions and he was not
aware of the defect in the Defendants' property which created the small isolated patch of ice.
Furthermore, he did not observe the condition created by the leak from the roofing and/or gutter
until after his fall. Plaintiff denies that the condition was open and obvious or something that he
was or should have been aware.
25. Denied. Plaintiff does not have sufficient knowledge or information to admit or
deny this allegation, and additional information is requested. If sufficient information is supplied
confirming that HMC Hospitality Corporation is not or was not involved in the ownership,
312631 2
management or control, of the Radisson Penn Harris Hotel and Convention Center at the time of
this incident, Plaintiffs will discontinue the action with respect to this entity.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court dismiss
Defendant's New Matter enter judgment in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendant.

DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Now come Defendants, RADISSON PENN HARRIS HOTEL AND CONVETION
CENTER and HMC HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT CORPORATION, by and through their
attorneys, Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin, and hereby file this Motion for
Summary Judgment and in support thereof aver the following:
1. On February 11, 2003, Plaintiff, John Stone, was staying at the Radisson Penn Harris
Hotel in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.
2. Plaintiff was exiting the hotel by a side door, carrying two suitcases and a small
shopping bag. (Deposition transcript of John Stone, p. 28-29 attached hereto as Exhibit A,
hereinafter referred to as "Stone Dep.")
3. Plaintiff stated that he was not paying attention to the ramp, as he was watching a
woman put something on top of her car in the parking lot. (Stone Dep., p. 31).
4. Plaintiff slipped and fell on a patch of ice on the ramp outside the side door. (Stone
Dep., p. 32).
5. Plaintiffs wife took a photograph of the ice. (Photograph of the ice is attached hereto
as Exhibit B).
6. Plaintiff surmises that the ice developed as a result of a leak or a drip in a seam in the
copper gutter. (Stone Dep., p. 45-46).
7. However, Plaintiff admits that he never saw the gutter drip or leak, nor did he see a
crack or hole to indicate any dripping or leaking. (Stone Dep. p 46).
8. Defendants' expert, Bruce Ensor, examined the gutter on October 30, 2008, and
determined that no crack or hole exists which would have caused a leak or drip. (Report of Bruce
Ensor is attached hereto as Exhibit Q.
9. There is no evidence that there have been any changes to or repairs of the gutter from
the date of Plaintiffs fall to the present.
10. Plaintiff has elected not to have an expert examine the gutter.
11. Plaintiff has not alleged, or provided proof, that there was any other cause for the ice
on the sidewalk.
12. Furthermore, Plaintiff has come forward with no evidence that the Defendant had
actual or constructive notice of the ice on the sidewalk.
13. Plaintiff has presented no evidence to show how long the alleged defective condition
existed on the sidewalk, except to say that the ramp was clear when he first entered the hotel the
night before his fall. (Stone Dep. p 25).
14. A possessor of land is only liable to a business invitee when the possessor has notice.
Restatement (Second) of Torts § 343 (1965). Notice requires the possessor have actual or
constructive notice of the condition or the possessor had a hand in creating the harmful
condition. Estate of Swift v. NE.Hosv., 690 A.2d 719, 722 (Pa. Super. Ct. 1997).
15. Defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
16. No judge has ruled on any issue in this case.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests the Court grant it's Motion for Summary Judgment
and dismiss Plaintiffs Complaint with prejudice.

MR. REESER: I'm going to start with Mr. Stone, if
that's all right with everybody.
MR. KOSIK: Okay.
DIRECT EXAMINATION
BY MR. REESER:
Q Mr. Stone, we were introduced a few minutes ago.
My name is Chris Reeser. I'm the attorney form the Penn
Harris Hotel and the affiliated companies or entities who've
been named as defendants in this lawsuit which are all
related to the hotel. Okay?
A Um-hum.
Q I'm going to ask you some questions about the slip
and fall that you had. I think it was February 11th, 2003.
A Yes.
Q And the injuries that you are claiming as a result

Q It's important that you answer questions verbally,
yes, no, I don't know as opposed to um-hum, hum-um, you
know, shrugging your shoulders like this, or nodding your
head, things that we might do in ordinary conversation.
And I might understand what you mean if you -- if
you nod your head like this, but it's not really clear to
the court reporter who's taking down everything that you say
as to what you meant. All right?
A Yes.
Q So if -- if I hear an um-hum or an hum-um, probably
everybody in the room will try to correct you just to remind
you that you -- we want you to say yes or no just so we're
clear as to what you have to say. All right?
A Yes.
Q If you don't understand a question that I ask you,
don't feel like you're insulting me by saying, hey, I don't
understand you. You're going to have to clarify that. All
right?
A Yes.
Q I don't want you to answer any questions that you
don't understand. This isn't -- this isn't a quiz for you
to try to figure out what's in my mind. I want you to
understand the questions before you answer it, and I'll be
glad to try to restate it or rephrase it until I get it
right so that you do understand it. Okay?

A Yes.
Q If you think you know the answer to a question that
I'm asking the minute I start the question, I want you to
refrain from answering it until I'm completely done with the
question or until you think I'm completely done with the
question. And I'm going to try to let you finish your
answer to the question before I start another question.
And the reason for that is that two of us talking
over one another makes it very challenging for her to type
both of us talking at the same time, and it doesn't make for
a clear record when Mr. Kosik and I go back and take a look
at what was said during the course of this deposition. All
right?
A Yes.
Q All right. You're seated next to your wife,
correct?
A Yes.
Q My experience has been that husbands and wives,
especially husbands and wives who've been married for a long
time, tend to want to answer for each other. So I'm going
to ask you, and actually I'll ask you, Mrs. Stone, to
refrain from answering the questions that are asked of your
husband, all right?
My guess is once or twice you're going to do it
anyhow just because that's what happens. If you don't know

the answer to a question, but you think that your wife may
know the answer, all you have to do is tell me, my wife may
know the answer to that question or she probably knows the
answer to that question, because I'm going to have an
opportunity to ask her some questions as well. All right?
A Yes.
Q Or maybe, you know, you could say to me, can I ask
my wife? I just don't want to get in a situation where
we're having a big round table discussion where everybody's
talking at the same time. This is your deposition as
opposed to a group deposition, okay?
A Yes.
Q If you want to take a break for any reason, let me
know, whether it's to use the restroom, whether it's to talk
to Mr. Kosik, whether it's just to stretch your legs.
I noticed at the beginning you were kind of
wrestling in the chair a little bit to get your back
comfortable. If you just want to get up and stretch, let me
know. All right?
A Yes.
Q If you feel comfortable answering questions by
standing up as opposed to sitting down, that's not a problem
for me. So if you want to stand up and keep going, that's
fine as well. Okay?
A Yes.

if that gives you some time frame of when you need a break.
If it's been a half hour and you think, oh, boy, we
have another half hour, I'm going to need a break, that
probably gives you some idea.
A Yes.
Q Could you give me your home address, please?
A 230 Spudeno Road, S-P-U-D-E-N-O, Moscow,

Q I understand the painting. Where does the
decorating come in? Is that hanging wallpaper, or is there
more to it than that?
A Yes, yes, wallpaper.
Q Does your business do anything beyond painting and
hanging wallpaper?
A Yes. We texture ceilings. I don't.
Q Your son does that?
A Yes.
Q I'm assuming by the name of the business your son
is either your partner or --
A Yes.
Q -- you work with your son?
A Yes.
Q Which one is it? Is he your partner?
A No. My son works for me.
Q I see. And how long has he worked for you?
A Oh, God. Since he got out of college.
Q Okay. Sounds to me like he's probably in his early
40s based upon the dates of birth that you gave us?
A 44 or 45. I'm not sure.
Q So he's probably been out of college 22, 23 years,
something like that?
A Yes.
Q And he went right to work with you after he

graduated from college?
A Yes.
Q Are you working full time right now?
A I go to work every morning, but I can only work up
to 1, 2:00, and then I'm beat. I just can't take it no
more. So I just hang around.
Q Okay. I use that term full time. That probably --
that's probably an unfair term to use because it means
different things to different people. What would you
consider full time work for you?
A Eight hours a day.
Q All right. Monday through Friday?
A Yes.
Q 7 to 3 or 9 to 5 or whatever?
A Yes.
Q Whatever people want to work, okay. You say right
now you go to work every -- every morning, but you can only
work until 1, 2:00 and then you're beat?
A Yes.
Q What time do you start right now?
A 8:00.
Q And you work five, six hours a day?
A Yes.
Q And when you go to work with your son I assume
you go to work with your son; is that correct?

right now when you go to work?
A I do trim work, doors, windows.
Q Okay. And does your son take care of the larger
spaces, the walls?
A Yes.
Q The ceilings?
A Yes.
Q Is that the way that you always worked with your
son?
A No.
Q How has that changed? Or what's changed I probably
should say?
A I used to be able to roll ceilings and roll side
walls. I can't do it anymore because I can't get my arms up
that high.
Q Okay. Do you -- did you have -- before you had the
incident where you fell in 2003 did you have a date in mind
when you intended to retire?
A Never.
Q Okay. Do you have a plan in place in which you are
going to sell the business to your son or your son is going
to assume ownership of the business?
A I have no intentions of selling it or giving it

Q Have you ever had any other employees other than
your son?
A I did have a couple of subs a few years back, five,
six, seven years ago.
Q Before this incident?
A Oh, yes.
Q You haven't hired anybody since --
A No.
Q -- that time?
MR. REESER: Off the record for a minute.
(Discussion held off the record.)
MR. REESER: Maybe we should put that on the record
then so we're clear. We just had an off-the-record
discussion, and my understanding in speaking with Mr. Kosik
is that a wage loss claim is not being made as a component
of this lawsuit. And that being the case I'm not going to
ask questions about business income and personal income that
Mr. Stone gets as part of his painting business. Are we in
agreement on that?
MR. KOSIK: Yes.
BY MR. REESER:
Q All right. Mr. Stone, before this incident in 2003
it appears to me in going through your medical records that
you had not been to the doctor for any reason in some years?

A No, sir.
Q Is that a fair statement?
A Yes, it is.
Q Okay. You did not have a -- what most people would
consider a family doctor?
A No, sir.
Q All right. So I think it's Gerald Nealon who
you've been seeing since February, 2003. He's not somebody
that you saw before that time?
A No, sir.
Q All right. Before 2003 could you tell me as to the
best of your recollection when it was the last time that you
went to see a doctor?
A I can't tell you. I do not know.
Q Okay. Even as a young person, you know, in your
teenage years or even before that were you ever injured or
did you ever require any kind of medical treatment which
sent you to the hospital?
A I did go to a doctor when I was a young boy. I had
hepatitis. That was it.
Q Okay.
A That I can remember.
Q Are you a veteran? Were you in the service?
A No, sir.

years. Before you were self-employed did you work as a
painter for some other business?
A Yes.
Q Okay. And I would assume that that would have been
another 20, 30 years that you worked for somebody else
before you went out on your own?
A 33 years.
Q 33 years. Did you work for the same employer for
33 years?
A Yes.
Q Who was that?
A Buck Hill Falls Company.
Q Where is that based?
A Buck Hill Falls, Pennsylvania.
Q Okay. Obviously I don't know where that is or I
wouldn't have asked that question. I'm assuming Buck Hill
Falls is somewhere near where you live?
A It's about 19 miles from where I live.
Q Okay. And is that a painting contractor as well?
A No, sir. It's -- it was a resort hotel.
Q Oh, all right. What was -- I'm sorry. What was
the name of the business again, Buck Hill Falls?
A Company.
Q Company?
A The Inn at Buck Hill Falls.

A I was a painter, and then I became paint foreman.
Q Okay. So I'm guessing that you would paint the
rooms, go around and paint the hotel rooms that needed to be
refreshed?
A Yes.
Q Okay. During the time that you worked at the Inn
at Buck Hill Falls did you ever suffer any injuries?
A No.
Q Did you ever make a workers' compensation claim?
A No.
Q Have you ever made a claim for any type of
disability benefits whatsoever?
A No.
Q Prior to 2003 did you ever have any problems with
your back or neck?
A No, sir.
Q All right. The records make reference to -- and
not to embarrass you, but it's obvious that you have what's
referred to as a port wine stain or a reddish mark on your
right cheek?
A Yes, sir.
Q Have you had that your entire life?

Q Okay. There is reference, and I know it's part of
the claim so I'm going to ask you some questions about it,
to your experiencing some drooling and a droop of your
face --
A Yes.
Q -- since the incident occurred. Did you ever have
any problems such as that before the incident?
A No.
Q As I look at you it appears as if your -- your
upper lip there's a little bit more swelling to your right
if you look at the center line of your lip. And then go to
the right of the upper lip it appears to be more swelled
than the left side. Do you understand what I
A Yes, I understand.
Q -- am talking about? Did your lip appear that way
before 2003?
A Can I ask my wife?
Q Sure. Yeah, actually you can.
A I don't pay any attention to what I look like.

way.
BY MR. REESER:
Q Okay. Would you -- would you agree with your wife,
given the fact that you probably don't know one way or the
other, that your appearance hasn't changed?
A I guess. She's always right.
Q Good answer. Okay. Do you recall why you were in
the Harrisburg area in 2003?
A Yes.
Q What were you there for?
A I was going to the Eastern Sportsman Show with my
daughter.
Q Was it just you and your daughter, or were there
other people or family members who were going?
A Other family members.
Q Who else?
A My wife.
Q Anybody else?
A No.
Q Is -- was your daughter married at the time?
A Yes.

of the -- the day before the incident when you checked in?
A Nice.
Q Nice?
A Yes.
Q Do you recall whether there was any snow on the
ground from perhaps snow a week before or two weeks before?
A Yes.
Q If you could estimate for me, do you recall how
many inches of snow would have been on the ground?
A I can't do that.
Q Okay. When you got to the Penn Harris was the
parking lot cleared of ice and snow?
A Yes.
Q Were the walkways cleared of ice and snow to the
best of your knowledge?

don't recall or you didn't do that?
A I didn't do that.
Q All right. Who did that?
A My daughter.
Q Did you stay in the car while she did that?
A Yes.
Q After she got the room assignment did you have to
drive your car to park close to where your room was?

did you carry your bags in yourself?
A No.
Q Who carried your bags in? Do you recall?
A My daughter carried one. I carried, I think, a
shopping bag. And my wife carried her little overnight bag.
Q Did you have any -- did you have some kind of
suitcase or overnight bag that you took in?
A No, just a shopping bag.
Q What was contained in the shopping bag?
A I can't remember.
Q Did you bring a change of clothes with you?
A Yes.
Q Okay. Where was that?
A In the suitcase that my wife had.
Q I see. So you travel in one suitcase?
A I was only staying one night.
Q Well, if I travel with my wife it's two suitcases
for her. So that's why I'm asking. When you went in, just
for identification purposes -- just take that one.
Mr. Stone, you're looking at two photographs, which
we'll mark as Exhibit 1. I realize that those are not
photographs that you took. They were taken, I believe, by
somebody from the Penn Harris's insurance company. But can
you -- do those photographs appear to show the -- the doors

that you used to get in and out of the hotel when you were

(Photocopies of photographs were produced and
marked as Deposition Exhibit No. 1.)
BY MR. REESER:
Q I'll tell you what, why don't we cross reference it
with some photographs that Mr. Kosik has provided me?
A That is a ramp there. I can't see well. I guess
it is. That's the door.
Q Okay.
A I'm sorry.
Q When you walked in that door you mentioned a ramp.
You have to go up a small ramp to get to the door?
A Yes.
Q When you walked in the door do you recall there
being any ice or snow on -- anywhere near the door --
A No.
Q -- on the cement walkway? I'm not talking about in
the grass.
A No.
Q Okay. On the day that you checked in did you
observe any water dripping from this -- this overhang?
A No.

Q Okay. To your knowledge when was the last time it
snowed before the day of your fall?
A I can't remember when it snowed down there.
Q Okay. Do you know whether it snowed at any time
between the time that you checked in and the time that your
fall occurred?
A No, it didn't.
Q Okay. What did you do after you checked in on the
10th?
A Went in the room. And I don't even think we went
out to eat that night.
Q Okay. Did you go to the Farm Show that day?
A No.
Q Does the -- I think that event runs from -- I don't
know if it runs from a Sunday to a Saturday.
A Saturday to a Sunday.
Q Saturday to a Sunday, okay. And you got there on a
Monday?
A Yes.
Q And the show was going on when you got there?
A Yes.

were going to travel back home that evening?

to keep going?

Q Do you recall leaving the building for any reason
after you checked in, the hotel building I mean?

Q When you woke up the next morning about what time
was it?

Q All right. It would have been daylight at 7:00?

Q Okay. When you looked out the window did the
weather appear to be clear that morning?

Q And what time did you plan on going to the Outdoor
Show that day?
A It doesn't open up until 10, so we had no hurry.
Q Okay. What did you do after you woke up?
A Took a shower, got dressed. And then I carried
bags out to the car, and that's when I fell.
Q Okay. About what time was it that -- that your
fall occurred?
A Between 8 and 9, somewhere around there.
Q All right. What bags were you carrying at the
time?

airplane.
Q Okay. About two feet wide and, I don't know, a
foot and a half high, something like that?
A About this long (indicating). Maybe this wide
(indicating). And that thick (indicating).
Q Okay.
A That's all -- I don't know much about bags.
Q I'm just trying to get a feel for, you know, how --
whether it was more of a back pack or whether it was bigger
than that and what the dimensions of it were. So a
rectangular shaped bag?
A Yeah, yes.
Q And were they both the same size?
A Yes.
Q All right. How were you carrying them? Were you
carrying them by the handles or a shoulder strap?

the hands with the --
Q Okay. As you walked out of the door did you have
the -- the suitcases down around your waste or hanging down
around your knees?
A Like this. (Indicating.)
Q Okay. You're -- for the record you kind of have
your elbows -- your arms to your side and your elbows bent a
little bit?
A I can't say for sure.
Q Okay.
A All I know is I was carrying them.
Q You knew you were carrying them to your sides?
A Yes.
Q In carrying the suitcases did that block your
vision at all of what was in front of you?
A No.
Q All right. As you walked out -- as you first
walked out the door of the -- the hotel building can you
recall whether it was sunny out or whether it was overcast?
A It was clear.
Q Clear, okay. And when -- when you first walked out
and you -- and you saw that ramp that comes from the door
down towards the parking lot did it appear to be dry to you?

walking out of the building?
A There was a lady putting something up on top of the
car over the parking lot.
Q Somebody that you knew?
A No.
Q What was she -- what was she doing specifically, if
you can recall?
A I don't know. She was doing something up on top of
her car. I don't know what it was. I can't remember.
Q Any particular reason that you were focused on
that?
A It was the fi rSf thinrr T cac, n whcn T cu=l L,-A
door.
Q Okay. How far was your car from the doorway?
A Oh, 40, 50 feet.
Q All right. As you walked out -- as you would have
walked out of the door would your car have been to your --
to your -- it would have been to your right as you're
walking out the door?
A Yes.
Q So to get there would you have had to walk out of
this side -- walk down this sidewalk where the ramp is and

then continue on a sidewalk, or would you have just gone
across the parking lot?
A I come out of this door, and I would have continued
to walk out the parking lot, and right down here was my
truck.
Q Okay. As you were walking out of the door of the
hotel were you looking around to see where your truck was?
A I seen it the minute I opened the door because it
was right there catty-corner.
Q Okay. Did you pay any attention to the -- what was
on the ramp or what was on the sidewalk as you were walking
out the door?
A No, I had no reason to because, you know, it was
bare.
Q Okay.
A Except for that spot.
Q Now, you've provided me with some photographs, or
your attorney has provided me with some photographs. I only
have one copy of them. I don't know if you brought a
separate copy.
MR. KOSIK: I didn't bring copies. I have the
originals.
BY MR. REESER:

response to Defendant's Request For Production of Documents.

I'll just refer to them that way instead of attaching them.
Mr. Stone, I'm going to show you two photographs
that have been provided to me by your attorney. Do those
two photographs show the spot that you slipped on?
A Yes, sir.
Q Okay. When were those photographs taken?
A The same day as I fell.
Q About what time?
A You'll have to ask my wife. She took the pictures.
Q Okay. Describe for me what happened.
A I opened -- pushed the door open, and I pushed it
with my foot too. And I went out, and I seen that lady over
there. And I was just curious wondering what she was doing,
and it just happened. I just went boom. And I fell and hit
the back of my head, and I hit right here. (Indicating.)
Q Where's right here, if you can describe where right
here is?
A Right down here I hit on my -- like on the corner
of my hip and my back right here. (Indicating.) And I was,
you know, out of it for -- I don't know how long. Anyway, I
was out of it for a little bit. And then I went to get up,
and I still didn't see that darn ice, and I fell forward.
And when I fell forward I run my face in the --
down here. And I tried to break my fall with my hands, and
I busted my hands up. And I showed the people that at the

hotel.
Q Okay. Let me break that down a little bit now that
you've kind of given me a general description.
When you walked out the door you opened it with
your foot?
A My shoulder and my foot.
Q Your shoulder and your foot?
A My right side. I opened it, and I pushed against
it with the suitcases.
Q So you kind of turned sideways?
A Yes.
Q And which door did you open? Did you open the
right door or the left door as you were --
A I can't remember.
Q And then you would have just started to walk in a
normal pace?
A Yes.
Q Do you know which foot came out from under you?
A No, I don't.
Q Was it one foot or was it both feet that came out?
A I can't remember. All I know is I went down.
Q And you described landing kind of on your back and
your hip, and I think you meant your left hip?
A Yeah, right here I hit. (Indicating.) And then,
first of all, the bottom of me hit right here.

(Indicating.) And then my head hit -- hit a heck of a shot.
And it just made me sick to my stomach, boom, just like
that.
Q Okay. When you -- when you slipped did you -- did
your head go straight back?
A Yes, I went (indicating).
Q Did your feet come up in the air?
A Yes.
Q Do you recall your foot sliding more -- sliding
towards the left or sliding towards the right?
A I can't remember.
Q Okay. Would it be fair to say then that you struck
kind of the back of your head down towards your neck?
A Oh, yes.
Q Were you laying flat on the ground for a while?
A Yes, I was.
Q Do you know how long?
A No.
Q Do you know if that woman who you described as
loading something on the top of her vehicle saw your fall?
A When I was trying to get back up she hollered over
at me, can I help you, sir?
Q Okay.
A But she never come over.
Q Okay. And you don't know who that woman is today?

Q To your knowledge were you knocked unconscious?
A I don't know.
Q Okay. You said that you got an immediate sick
feeling in your stomach. Did that happen before the second
fall or after the second fall?
A When I was trying to gather myself up after the
second fall.
Q Okay.
A I was sick then.
Q All right. What -- if you can remember it,
describe for me everything that you tried to do to get
yourself together and stand up between the first fall and
the second fall.
A When I fell the first time I -- I just had this --
I don't know. It's something just happened to me. And I
grabbed ahold of that post trying to get up, and then my
feet went out from underneath me again. And that's when I
fell forward that time.
Q Okay. And when -- I think you indicated to me
earlier that when you fell forward your head struck in the
area that would be flat in front of the ramp?
A No, I think -- I think my head was back here.
(Indicating.)
Q Okay. Your head would have been above the ice spot

A Yes.
Q The second time that you struck your head?
A No. The second time I fell I did come forward on
that one.
Q Well, oh, all right. Okay. So just so we're
clear, the first time you struck your head in an area above
the spot?
A Yes.
Q And closer to the door?
A Yes.
Q The second time it was in front of the spot closer
to the parking lot?
A Yes, yes.
Q Okay. And the second time that you fell you fell
forward and you tried to brace yourself?
A Yes.
Q With your hands?
A Yes.
Q And where on your -- on your head or face did you
strike the ground?
A I hit right just flat.
Q Did your nose hit?
A Yes. Because that's when my glasses flew off.
Q Okay. Were there any cuts to either your nose,

Q Okay. Were your glasses damaged?
A I think one side of my glasses was broke, yeah.
Q Okay.
MR. KOSIK: Chris, just for the record I think he
was indicating the tip of your nose.
THE WITNESS: Yes.
BY MR. REESER:
Q Oh, thank you. The glasses that you had on,
obviously they're prescription glasses?
A Yes.
Q Okay. Bifocals?
A Yes.
Q Do you recall when they were -- when the
prescription was last updated before you fell?
A I think right before that I was to the eye doctors.
Q Who's the eye doctor who prescribes your glasses?
A Dr. Kenneth Phillips.
Q Where's he located?
A Waymart.
Q Do you know the name of his ophthal - optom --
optometrical practice?
A No.

THE WITNESS: No, there isn't.
BY MR. REESER:
Q Oh, okay. What did you do after you got up the
second time, after you fell the second time? Were you able
to get yourself back up again?
A I gathered all my thoughts, and I didn't pick up
anything. I just turned around, and I went back to the
room. It took me a while to get there. And I told my wife
and daughter that I fell.
Q Okay. After the second time that you fell did you
then realize what it was that caused you to fall?
A No.
Q Okay. You still didn't see the ice spot?
A No.
Q All right. When you went in and told your wife and
your daughter that you fell did you bring the bags in with
you?
A No.
Q You just left them there?
A Yes.
Q How far a walk was it from where you fell to the
room?
A I think that was the third room on the left, if I'm
not mistaken.

Q It was just a hallway?
A You walked in and made a left.
Q Okay. Did you stay in the room for a while, or did
you come right back out?
A No. I stayed in there for a couple of minutes.
Q Okay. I think there was some indication in one of
the records that you got physically sick --
A Yes.
Q -- after you fell? Did that happen in the room
itself?
A Yes.
Q Did that happen before you went back out?
A Yes.
Q Okay. Did you -- you mentioned an abrasion to your
nose, and I think you said you cut up your hands a little
bit?
A Yes.
Q Anything that required Bandaids, stitches?
A No.
Q All right. Were you bleeding or were you cut in
any other part -- on any other part of your body?

Q What about your hip and your back? Did you have

Q Okay. Did that area bruise at some time, you know,
a day'or two after you had fallen?
A I had a little black and blue, yes.
Q Was that on your hip, on your back?
A Between my hip and my back.
Q Okay. While you were in the room after your fall
did either your wife or your daughter go out to investigate
what happened?
A No.
Q Okay. They stayed in the room with you?
A With me.
Q All right. Approximately how long did you stay in
the room?
A Oh, I can't remember.
Q Okay. Less than a half an hour?
A Yes, I would say so.
Q All right. Then what happened?
A I went back out. As I walked in the door there was
a maid or somebody -- a lady standing there that worked
there. And I told her, I just fell out there, and I think I
fell on ice. I'm not sure.
So I looked out the door, and I told her, right out

there. And I went into the room then. And then when I come
back out of the room there was a busboy there, and he was
talking to the lady.
Q The lady who you had told that you had fallen?
A Yes. And he said, sir, can I help you? And I
said, yes. So we went out the door, and he picked up all of
my stuff and carried it over to the truck for me. So I went
back in, and he came to the room and told me that I have to
go to the front desk to file a report.
Q Okay. And when you went to the front desk -- well,
strike that. Before you went to the front desk did you then
go out and take a look at the spot that you fell on?
A I can't remember that.
Q All right. Did you speak with somebody at the
front desk about what had happened?
A Yes.
Q Do you remember if it was a man or a woman?
A I think it was a woman.
Q Did the woman hand you any type of form to fill
out?
A Yes.
Q Okay. Did you, indeed, fill out the form?
A Yes.
Q Okay. Were you asked whether or not you wanted to
go to the hospital or have an ambulance called?

Q Okay. Specifically do you recall what you told the
woman at the front desk?
A I can't remember what she told me, but I told her
-- she wanted me to do something, but I can't remember what
it was. And I said, look, lady, all I want to do is go.
Q Okay. Did she say anything about she knew that the
ice spot was there or how it got there or what would be done
about it?
A No. She -- when I -- I told her, I said, I believe
it was that ice out there. And I said, you should have
somebody take care of it before somebody else gets hurt. I
remember telling her that.
Q Okay.
A She said she'd have maintenance take care of it
immediately.
Q All right. How long were you at the front desk, a
couple minutes?
A Oh, yeah, yes.
Q Were you there by yourself, or were you accompanied
by any member of your family?
A No, I was there alone.
Q And then after you were done with your business
there did you then walk back to your hotel room?

Q How were you feeling at that time?

Q Describe for me how you were feeling terrible?
A I still had that sick feeling in my stomach.
Q Okay.
A And I had terrible, terrible headache, unbearable
headache.
Q When you told the lady at the front desk that you
just wanted to go, what did you mean by that? You wanted to
go home or you wanted to go to the -- the show?
A I think I told her, look, I just want to go home.
Q Okay. Did you give any consideration to going to
the hospital before you -- before you went home?
A No, sir.
Q All right. When you actually left the hotel --
well, strike that. When you were at the front desk
reporting the incident did you also check out of the hotel
or did somebody else take care of that?
A My daughter.
Q Okay. When you left to get in your truck and go
home did you walk out that same ramp that you had the fall
on?
A Yes.

which you fell?
A Yes.
Q All right. And these photographs that I referred
to, these are the photographs that are documents 121 to 128.
Do those photographs accurately reflect what the spot of ice
looked like at the time of your fall?
A Yes.
Q Now, when you were exiting the building for the
final time did you see anybody from the maintenance
department of the hotel?
A No, sir.
Q Did it -- did it appear as if anybody had done
anything to address the problem?
A Nothing.
Q Did you grab anybody or seek anybody from the
maintenance department and ask whether or not they were
going to take care of it before you left?
A I didn't.
Q To your knowledge, since you didn't see any ice
spot like that when you checked into the hotel and to your
knowledge it didn't rain, sleet, snow during the course of
the night, do you have any knowledge as to where that spot
came from?
A Yeah. It come out of the rain gutter.

the rain gutter up above?
A Yes.
Q From looking at Exhibit 1 it would be the -- the
black rain gutter above the -- above the white?
A There was a copper rain gutter above it.
Q Okay. How do you know that?
A I know copper rain gutters. I work with them all
the time.
Q No, I'm sorry. Bad question. How do you know that
the water which caused the ice spot came from the rain
gutter?
A It was right underneath the seam in the rain
gutter.
Q Okay. Did you actually see water dripping from the
rain gutter?
A No, sir.
Q Did you see a crack or a hole in the rain gutter
which would have indicated to you that water was -- would
have been dripping through it?
A No, I didn't.
Q Okay. So you're assuming, based upon the ice spot
in relationship to where the rain gutter was, that the ice
must have been formed by water dripping from the gutter?
A Yes.

falling from the rain gutter that day?
A I don't know.
Q Okay. When these photographs were taken you were
not present?
A No.
Q Okay.
MR. KOSIK: Chris, just to clarify. I counted the
photographs, because I was surprised that the pages were not
numbered. I believe the 121 through 128 actually references
-- because there are eight photographs. So the first
photograph on the first page would be 121, 122. And I think
those are the ones we've actually referred to today.
MR. REESER: Okay. And I think the only
photographs I had Mr. Stone look at were actually 121 and
122. We never got any further than that.
MR. KOSIK: Correct.
BY MR. REESER:
Q Okay. Did you speak with anybody from the Penn
Harris other than I believe it was a maid that you saw in
the hall after you fell, the busboy, and the person at the
-- at the front desk who you reported your fall to?
A Some lady called me on the phone.
Q Okay. Was this somebody from the hotel or somebody
from the hotel's insurance company?
A It must have been the hotel's insurance company.

it was.
Q Okay. Are you aware that you gave a statement that
was tape recorded?
A Yes.
Q Okay. Was that the phone conversation that you're
referring to?
A Yes.
Q Okay. Did you have any other contact with any
other person from the hotel or an insurance company
representative of the hotel?
A No.
Q All right. Since the day of your fall have you
ever been back on that property for any reason?
A Yes.
Q When was that?
A I went and took a picture of the -- the front
entrance because I was advised to.
Q Okay. When did that occur?
A I can't remember.
MR. KOSIK: Chris, I'm going to guess, based upon
the bate stamp on the photograph, that that day may have

MR. REESER: Okay. I don't know if I have that or
not. I probably do.
MR. KOSIK: I think you do. It's in some of the
other photographs. But --
MR. REESER: Oh, all right.
MR. KOSIK: Do you know if that was set properly on
the camera? It has a date on the camera.
THE WITNESS: She's the photographer.

Q Okay. So when you went back Mrs. Stone took the
photograph --
A Yes.
Q -- at that time was well?
A Yes.
Q All right. So you traveled down together?
A Yes. I was advised to.
Q Okay. Do you recall whether it was in the summer,
or at least in the spring when that happened?
A It was in the -- in warm weather.
Q Okay. Other than that time when you went down to
actually Camp Hill to take the photograph have you been on
that property for any other reason?
A No, sir.

Q Oh, did you? Okay.
A Yes.
Q How long were you there?
A Not very long, a few hours. And I couldn't take no
more, so they took me home.
Q What time did you arrive there?
A Oh, 10:00, I guess, right around there when they
opened.
Q Um-hum. How long did you stay then?
A We were on our way home before one, or around one.
Q How long do you think you would have stayed if you
would not have had this episode?
A Oh, all day. I love it.
Q Okay. Do you recall whether you had lunch there
before you left?
A No. At the Sportsman Show? No.
Q Yes.
A No, I couldn't eat.
Q That's what I was getting at. Was your stomach
still upset?

out. There's a lot of different displays, and you walk
around from one display to the other?
A Yes.
Q Were you able to walk around under your own power?
A I went to the main exhibit hall, and that's where I
spent my time. I sat down on them benches they have there
for a little bit until I felt a little better. And then I
go and look at some of the outfitters, and then I find
another place to sit down.
Q Okay. Did you still have the same headache that
you had when you were at the hotel?
A Yes.
Q Did you take anything for it?
A Yes.
Q What did you take?
A I think it was Advils.
Q Did that help you at all?
A A little bit, not much.
Q Okay. What about your -- your hip or your back?
Was that bothering you at all on the day that you were --
when you were going around the Farm Show?
A It was sore, but it didn't pain me real bad. It
pained me, but not that bad.
Q Okay. Was the headache the primary problem?

Q All right. Any reason that she drove your truck as
opposed to you driving your truck when you came down?

Q All right. When you got home -- I'm assuming it
takes, I don't know, two to three hours to get from
Harrisburg to --
A Yes.

Q Did you make any stops before you got home?

Q Where did you stop at?

Q And then from Exit 27, which I think is now 77, up
until the time you got home did you make any other stops?
A No.
Q How were you feeling when you got home?
A Terrible.
Q All right. Did you seek any medical treatment the
day of the incident after you got home?
A No.
Q Did you plan on working, I guess it would have been
Wednesday, the 12th?
A Yes.
Q Did you work Wednesday, the 12th?
A I don't think I worked on Wednesday. I did on
Thursday.
Q Okay. Why didn't you work on Wednesday?
A Because I was hurting.

MR. KOSIK: Chris, I don't want to interrupt you,
but are you done on liability?
MR. REESER: Yeah.
MR. KOSIK: Before you were done I want to ask him
a question about something I have in my file.
MR. REESER: Go ahead.
MR. KOSIK: Could I walk out with you a second?
(Recess taken from 11:48 to 11:55.)
MR. REESER: I'm not sure where we left off, but I
am going to go back to this for a second. Mr. Stone, while
we took a broke Mr. Kosik provided me a copy of a
handwritten statement that you made. And for what it's
worth I'm going to mark it as Exhibit No. 2.
(Handwritten statement was produced and marked as
Deposition Exhibit No. 2.)
BY MR. REESER:
Q I don't know that I have any specific-- I might
have some questions for you later about it, but at this time
I'm just curious as to when you made that -- when you wrote
that out.
A It was after I talked to the insurance lady.
Q Okay. Without going back and pulling the statement
it seems -- my recollection is that that -- that the
insurance lady talked to you probably two or three weeks

remember that.
MR. REESER: See if Mike can find it. I have it
here somewhere.
MR. KOSIK: I got every one but his. I know I have
his too.
MR. REESER: Here we go. I have it. Okay. Mike,
I have it.
MR. KOSIK: Okay.
BY MR. REESER:
Q Well, it looks to me, Mr. Stone, like this was a
Denise Lunz, L-U-N-Z?
A Yes.
Q That's who spoke with you. And she says on 2/18,
which would be a week after?
A Yes.
Q Does that sound about right to you? She would have
spoken to you about a week afterwards?
A I presume so.
Q Okay. And then you created this document shortly
after you spoke with her?
A Yes.

Q Okay. What was your reason for -- for creating
that document at that time?
A Because I -- to be honest with you, I don't know.
I guess it I wrote it for my own protection.
Q Okay. At the time that you wrote this document
then had you been to a doctor or to the hospital, sought any
medical treatment at all?
A To be honest about the whole situation, I went to
the hospital, but I can't remember what day. I can't tell
you. I think I went to CMC or Mercy, one of the two. I
can't remember.
Q Okay. I think it was CMC, and I can't remember the
date either. I should pull that out as well. Okay. It
looks like you went to CMC on the 23rd, which would have
been five days after you talked to Ms. Lunz.
A I can't remember that.
Q Okay. So you don't know whether you wrote this
before or after you went to the hospital?
A I can't to be honest.
Q Okay. Around that time frame, a week or so after
the incident occurred, or when Ms. Lunz called you, how were
you feeling physically?
A No good.
Q All right. Why no good?
A Well, I began to hurt then.

A Well, my -- I don't know whereabouts in my head,
but the back of my head and come over -- felt like it come
over into here. (Indicating.)
Q Into your forehead?
A Yeah, come across like. And I had pain in there,
and this hand was tingling all the time. (Indicating.) And
it still does yet to this day.
Q Your right hand was tingling?
A Yes.
Q When did that start? When did the tingling in your
hand start?
A A couple of weeks after.
Q Okay. A couple weeks, I mean, as opposed to one
week? One week after did you have the tingling in your
hands?
A Well, at first I didn't realize what it was. I
just thought my hand was asleep. But then it stayed with
me. So maybe three weeks.
Q Okay. That's when you noticed it for the first
time, about three weeks after?
A No, I noticed it before that, but I just thought my
hand was asleep from holding it a certain way.
Q Let me ask you the question a different way so you
and I are clear as to what I'm trying to get from you. When

did you notice for the first time that you were having the
tingling in your hands?
A Oh, just a couple days.
Q After you fell?
A Yes.
Q Okay. And the tingling that you noticed a couple
days after you fell, is that similar to the same tingling
that you have in your hand today?
A Yes.
Q Okay. To the best that you can, could you describe
it for me?
A I get a pain that goes across my shoulder, down my
arm to about right here. (Indicating.)
Q Okay. Now, I'm going to have to put into words
what you just did. Your ran your finger over the top of
your right shoulder and then down your arm to about --
A Right here. (Indicating.)
Q Just about where your wrist starts?
A Above my wrist.
Q Okay. And do you have that all the time, or does
that come and go?
A No, I have that all the time.
Q Okay. And do you have the numbness and the
tingling all the time --
A Yes.

Q -- in your hands? Okay. Now, a few days or a week
after the fall occurred did you have pain anyplace else
other than the headache and the numbness in your hand and
the pain down your arm?
A Yes.
Q Where else?
A My lower back and my hip.
Q. Okay. And did you have that pretty much right
after, the day after the accident?
A About two days, two days, three days maybe.
Q Okay. Around the same time that you noticed the
pain in your hand?
A Yes.
Q Has that gone away?
A No, sir.
Q Has that gotten worse over time?
A It's gotten worse.
Q Okay.
MR. KOSIK: Chris, I'm not clear for the record.
He was pointing to his hand when he was talking about the
tingling, and I know he described the pain above the wrist.
Just so we're clear, I think he is talking about the
numbness in the hand; is that correct?
THE WITNESS: Yes.
MR. KOSIK: Okay. Right hand.

joints.
Q The -- kind of the top point in each finger?
A Yes.
Q That's -- does the pain shoot up your hand to those
joints?
A No, sir.
Q That's where you have it, just the numbness --
A Yes.
Q -- in those knuckles or joints as you described
them?
A The ends.
Q Okay.
A They're all asleep.
Q Okay. All five fingers?
A Yes.
Q All right. Has any of the doctors that you've seen
described for you what it is that is causing that?
A I understand a nerve.
Q Okay. Do you know anything more specific than
that?
A They tested me for carpal tunnel.

Q Okay. And what were you told about your neck?
A Dr. Costello told me, she said, John, you're never
going to get better. You're only going to get worse.
Q Okay. Did she tell you why -- what it was that was
never going to get better?
A No, sir.
Q But, I mean, I would assume at some point you said
to Dr. Costello, why am I having this numbness in my hand?
A Yes.
Q Okay. And she said it's something with a nerve?
A Yes.
Q Did she ever give you a better description than
that?

Q Okay. How did you get to Dr. Costello? Did you
get a referral from somebody?
A Yes. I -- I'm not sure. I think it was Dr.
Nealon.

there though, but I can't remember.
Q Now, it looks like you've been to Dr. Nealon a
number of times --
A Yes.
Q -- since this fall. What have you been going to
Dr. Nealon for?
A He gives me medicine for it, for the pain.
Q What type of medicine has he given you?
A It's a pain pill called -- it starts with a P.
Q Percocet?
A Yes.
Q Has he given you any other type of medication?
A No, sir.
Q Other than giving you medication is there anything
-- what does he do when you go to see him?
A Takes my blood pressure. He pushes on my back and
on my neck.
Q Okay. Has he described for you what he thinks is
causing the numbness in your hand?
A No, sir. The only thing he said to me when I first
went there, he thought I had a broken neck.
Q Okay. Did he send you for x-rays after that?
A I can't remember. I go to -- they send me all the
time.

Nealon, Dr. Lilik, has any doctor recommended to you that
you may need surgery?
A Yes.
Q Or suggested to you? Who's told you that?
A Dr. Costello, the neurosurgeon.
Q Now, my understanding is Dr. Costello is a
neurologist, but not a neurosurgeon?
A She must operate. There's people there in her
office with holes in their neck where she went through and
done work on the back of their neck.
Q Okay. She's a surgeon then?
A To my understanding, yes.
Q What did she tell you with regard to the
possibility of surgery?
A All she said was, John, down the road you're going
-- I'm afraid -- I quote her words. She said, John, down
the road I'm afraid you're going to have to have surgery.
Q And did she describe what the surgery would be?
A No, sir.
Q Is it your understanding though that the place
where the surgery would be done would be in the neck, the
cervical spine?
A I don't know whether it was my neck or my lower
back.
Q Well, did she tell you what problem a surgery would

address?
A No, sir. And I don't ask because I don't want to
know.
Q I have a record from a Dr. Holla.
A Yes.
Q It looks like Dr. Nealon sent you there. Would
that be correct?
A Probably. I'm not sure.
Q And Dr. Holla's report is dated August 14 of 2003.
Do you know why you were sent to Dr. Holla?
A No. I was just told to go there, and he wanted to
give me, I guess, injections. And I'm scared to death of a
needle. I pass out, and I just can't take a needle. I'll
die before I take a needle. And I told him, I said, I'll
think about it. And when I come home from vacation, if I
want it done, I'll do it.
Q Do you know at least where he wanted to inject you?
A No, sir.
Q Did you only see Dr. Holla one time?
A Yes.
Q Has Dr. Costello also suggested to you that she
would give you injections?
A Yes.
Q Okay. And I assume that you've refused those?
A Yes. I won't take a needle.

neck or something.
Q And do you know if that was --
A I'm not sure.
Q -- to deal with pain in your -- or numbness in your
hand?
A Oh, I don't know.
Q Do you still have the headaches sometimes?
A I got one right now. I could sit here and cry.
Q Are you still taking Percocet for pain?
A Yes.
Q How often do you take that?
A Three times a day.
Q And that's under the prescription of Dr. Nealon?
A Yes.
Q Does it feel better after you take the Percocet?
A It eases it to a certain extent.
Q It looks like in Dr. Lilik's records that he
recommended that you discontinue the Percocet?
A Well, I don't know. I didn't see them. They went
to Dr. Nealon and Dr. Costello.

thought that you should taper off of the Percocet, meaning
that you reduce your dosage until you're not taking it
anymore?
A I can't remember. It's been so long.
Q How did you get to Dr. Lilik? Do you remember
going to see Dr. Lilik?
A Yes.
Q Okay. How did you get to him?
A Dr. Costello.
Q So you saw Dr. Costello first, and then she made
the referral to Dr. Lilik?
A Yes.
Q Do you recall what specific problem Dr. Costello
wanted Dr. Lilik to see you for?
A No. I just took a prescription. I don't know.
Q Do you remember what recommendations he made, you
know?
A No, I don't know that.
Q When was the last time you saw Dr. Lilik?
A I can't remember that. I have to go back and see
him though. I was just to his office the other day, and
they tested me for carpal tunnel to see if that's what my
problem was, and I was clear. And the doctor had to go to
the hospital in an emergency. So they rescheduled me for --

that sound accurate to you?
A To be honest I can't remember when it was. I don't
remember.
MR. KOSIK: Before the most recent appointment?
BY MR. REESER:
Q Before the most recent appointment? It doesn't
sound like you saw him the other day?
A Oh, no, no. It was a while. But how long I don't
know.
Q Okay. What, if anything, is Dr. Costello or Dr.
Nealon or anybody else that you're seeing doing to help ease
the -- the headaches and the pain in your arm?
A They sent me to physical therapy.
Q Okay. And it looks like from the records I have
you went to physical therapy sometime in 2003 --
A Yes.
Q -- after your fall? And then you've been there
again more recently?
A Yes.
Q All right. The first time that you went did
physical therapy make you any better?
A No. That's -- I told the doctor, I said, I just

can't take it from them. So they quit it. And then Dr.
Costello sent me back last year or this year, I can't
remember. And I -- I called her up and told her, I just
can't take it from them.
Q Okay. What kinds of things did they have you doing
at the physical therapy?
A Well, they put electrical shocks on me, which I
didn't mind. That kind of helped me a little bit. And then
they would work my -- my neck and my back, and I just
couldn't stand the pain.
Q When you say work it, what do you mean by that?
A With their fingers.
Q Massage?
A Yes.
Q Did they have you doing any types of exercises at
all?
A I couldn't do it. I tried it.
Q Okay. The last time you were in physical therapy
about how many times did you go before you stopped?
A Oh, I can't remember. They did -- Dr. Costello had
-- or they suggested Dr. Costello would give me a
prescription for a TENS, and I used that for, oh, maybe a
month, but it don't help me no more.

side of my head up here. (Indicating.)
Q You put one down around your hip or your lower
back?
A Two of them down there, one on each side.
Q Two of them, okay.
A And then two here. (Indicating.) You know, it --
the pain is worse than what the sting is. And I kept it up
anywhere from 42 to 50.

Q What's the max -- what's the highest number?
A I don't know, sir.
Q Okay.
A I couldn't tell you.
Q I don't know how they work, so --
A It felt good at first for a couple days, but then
after that it was just like I had nothing on.
Q How often were you using it?
A I was using it all day long.
Q All day long. What would you say bothers you more,
the headaches and the pain down your arm and the numbness in
your hand, or your low back? Is one worse than the other?

right now very, very bad.
Q Okay. What have they done for your low back to
address -- the doctors that you've seen, what have they done
to try to ease the pain in your low back?
A Nothing.
Q Has the physical therapy ever addressed your low
back at all?
A Yes, a little. Not too often.
Q Did they do the same types of things with the
electrodes and the massage?
A One time with the electrodes.
Q That didn't help you at all?
A No.
Q Have you tried a chiropractor at all?
A Dr. Costello sent me to a doctor up in Clarks
Summit. Joe something was his name. I went there the first
night, and he didn't do much to me. The second night I went
there and he got working on me, and I thought I was going
have to call my wife to come and get me. I couldn't stand
it. And I called Dr. Costello, and she said don't go back.
Q All right. So was he doing the manipulations where
he cracked your back?
A No, he didn't try to crack my back. He just put me
on a table that was standing straight up and down, and then
he layed me down in it. And I can't lay down. I can lay

right?

Q You're taking the Percocet?

Q Are you taking any other medications at all?

prescription?

Costello?

ago.
Q Yeah, looks like the beginning of February,
February lst?

is?

call them medical professionals, chiropractors, physical
therapists?

Q We've covered everybody that you've seen so far?

as part of your claim is what has been described as a facial
droop. Are you familiar with what I mean by that?

Q Okay. It -- having not seen you before today, and
certainly not having seen you before 2003, it's hard for me

different, what would you say is different?
A I can't say about my looks. The only thing that is
different is that I -- I drool all the time.
Q Okay. During the day while you're awake?
A Oh, yeah, all the -- constantly. I drool. It just
runs out of me. I can't feel nothing.
Q You have a numbness in your -- in your cheek or in
your lip?
A No. I can feel, you know, but it just comes out.
I can't control it since this happened.
Q When did that start? When was the first time you
noticed that?
A Immediately.
Q The -- the next day or --
A Yes, the next day.
Q Okay. Did you report it to Dr. Nealon when you --
when you went to see him for the first time?
A I told the doctor in the hospital, and the doctor
in the hospital said it looked like you had a stroke. And
then they tested me for that.
Q Right.
A And they said I didn't.
Q Okay. Has anybody given you an explanation as to
why that's occurring?
A No, sir.

Q I'm assuming you've asked?
A Yeah, I did ask, but I never got a -- I never got a
real answer.
Q Okay. Is there -- to your knowledge has there been
any medication prescribed to you that would stop that from
occurring?
A No, sir.
Q How often does it occur where you, you know, you
have saliva coming out of your mouth?
A All the time. All the time. I'm ashamed -- my
wife and I love to go out and eat, and I'm afraid to go out
because it just runs down my face and I don't know it.
Q I don't mean to embarrass you, but it's part of the
case. I mean, if you were to eat a sandwich at lunch, what
happens?
A The food comes out of the corner of my mouth.
Q While you're chewing, while you're moving your
mouth up and down?
A Yes.
Q What about if you're taking a drink of water?
A If I'm not careful, it's all over the front of me.
Q Will the water come out the side of your mouth?
A Yeah, right there. (Indicating.)
Q Does it feel any different on the side of your
mouth?

A No, no. I can pinch myself, and I can feel it. I
feel everything there.
Q Okay. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess,
you know, you don't feel as if you look any different than
you did before the incident in 2003?
A Yeah, I do.
Q You do feel you look different?
A I would -- well --
Q Other than the fact that you're a couple years
older and we all look different as we get older?
A Yeah. I'm very conscientious because of my birth
mark, and with this drooling it really, you know, mentally
it bothers me terrible.
Q I guess what I'm trying to figure out is I'm -- do
you think your cheek sags more than it did before, before
the fall occurred?
A No, it's the same -- I -- to my knowledge I don't
think I ever had it before, the sag in my face.
Q Okay.
A You know, I can put up with that, but I can't put
up with the drooling.
Q All right.
A I tried putting cotton in there to keep it from
doing it, but it don't help putting cotton.

not medications necessarily, but ways that you can prevent
that from happening?
A No, no.
Q Have any of the doctors told you that it -- it's
related to the birth mark and blood flow in your cheek?
A No.
Q Have any of them told you that it's not related to
that?
A No.
Q Have any of the doctors told you that it's as a
result of the fall that you had, the fall that occurred in
2003, that you're having the drooling and the facial droop?
A I think Dr. Costello and the doctor in the hospital
said it might have come from that.
Q When did Dr. Costello tell you that?
A I can't remember. I'm no good at stuff like that.
Q All right.
A I can't remember anything since I've had this fall.
Q Well, that kind of goes to your next subject
matter, which is I think you've indicated you've had a
couple episodes of amnesia --
A Yeah.
Q -- since the fall. And I'm not sure exactly what
that means. So could you describe for me what happened?

up where I don't know where I'm at. But I can always
remember my home phone, and I call my wife up, and she had
to send my daughter and my son-in-law for me.
Q Where have you ended up?
A I was coming from Lowe's one day, and I wound up
down in the City of Scranton. And I don't know how I got
there. I don't remember going there.
Q Where was the Lowe's at, which Lowe's?
A Up in Dixon City.
Q Okay.
A I've had a couple of them incidents.
Q Okay. A couple, two, three?
A Three, three that I can remember.
Q When?
A But I get confused and I'm driving down the highway
and I know I want to go this way, but I go this way. And I
know that's happening, but I just can't control myself to go
that way.
Q Is this because your mind's on other things?
A No, no. I know where I went to go, but I just
can't go there.
Q Um-hum. Does it happen with things other than
driving, or does it --
A Yes.
Q How else does that happen?

A Well, at work it happens a lot too. You know, I'll
want to use oil based paint on trim, and I'll wind up
putting latex in a pail and starting with that. And my son
has to tell me, hey, Dad.
Q Okay. Has there ever been anything that happened
at home which concerned you, such as leaving a stove on or
A I don't do any cooking.
Q -- leaving water running?
A I do that. I leave water running, yeah.
Q Is that something that you always did, or is that
something that's happened recently?
A No, no.
Q I mean, other than -- obviously when you're driving
a car there's always a risk of injuring yourself?
A Yeah.
Q Have you done anything around the house or at work
where you thought, oh, my gosh, if somebody wouldn't have
caught me, I could have been very seriously injured?
A No. The only thing I did that was real bad was
that I changed the oil in my truck, and I forgot to put the
oil filter on. And I was backing out of the driveway, and I
-- I looked and seen the stuff -- I didn't even know I
changed the oil. The stuff was all sitting right there.
Lucky I didn't ruin my motor.

Q Have you talked to the doctors, any of or all of
the doctors, about these episodes of amnesia?
A I just told them about it was all.
Q Okay. I'm assuming you haven't been given a clear
explanation as to why it's occurring?
A No, sir.
Q Okay. When you go to work in the morning how do
you feel?
A The same as when I go home at night, terrible.
Q You say that you quit usually around noon, 1:00, 1,
2:00?
A 1, 2:00.
Q Okay. And when you quit you -- it's just because
you can't take it anymore?
A I can't take it no more, no.
Q But at 8:00 the next morning do you feel any
better?
A No, I really force myself. Dr. Costello said to
me, she said, John, you're amazing. She said, I don't know
how you get up to go to work in the morning.
Q How long has it been that -- that you've cut your
work back from 40 hours a week to it sounds like about 20 to
25 hours a week?
A Two years.
Q Okay. So that goes back to 2005?

Q Okay. Between 2003 and 2005, okay --
A I could see myself going downhill.
Q All right. Well, let's talk about the first six
months after the accident, after you fell. Did you go back
to working 40 hours a week painting?
A Yes, but I -- I didn't -- I didn't do the things
that I did prior to that.
Q Okay. What things did you not do that you did
prior to that?
A I could roll walls. I could roll ceilings. I
could texture ceilings. I could spray ceilings. I can't do
any of that no more.
Q Did you pretty much stop all those things when you
got hurt? That was it, you stopped rolling walls?
A After that I just got to the point where I couldn't
do it anymore.
Q What happens when you try to roll a wall?
A I can't get my arms up there to use the roller.
Q When you lift your arms up, at least when I use a
roller -- well, if it has the stick attached to it I lift it
up with two hands. Do you lift it up with two hands when
you do that?
A I have to because I have no strength in this hand.
Q When you lift up the paint brush or the stick

holding the paint brush with both hands where do you have
the paint?
A Both places.
Q Both?
A I can't move my neck back because if I move my neck
back, I get dizzy if I try to go back or I try to go
forward, and I can't turn to my left. So that's why I just
had to give it up. You know, I'm doing the best I can, but
I have to work, and I want to work.
Q What other things besides work are you limited in
doing?
A Well, my son has a farm, and I always bailed hay
and farmed with him. I can't do any of that anymore. I
can't even plow my own driveway with my four wheeler because
I can't -- I'm out there for two minutes, five minutes and I
have to get off of it because I can't stand the pain in my
lower back.
And I can't -- I have a home in West Virginia, and
I -- I'm just out of it when I get down there. And I asked
the doctor why, and she said it's -- the worst thing for you
to do is ride in the car she said because your back is going
like this when you're in a car.
Q It's being jarred or jostled?
A Jarred, yeah. And just like sitting in this chair,
I'm in agony.

Q Well, like I said at the beginning, if you need to
take a break or if you want to get up.
A No, I'm all right. I'll stick with it.
Q All right. How far a drive is it to your home in
West Virginia?
A Five hours.
Q Where in West Virginia, what town?
A Hardytown in West Virginia. We live outside of a
village called Lost River, West Virginia.
Q Before your fall how often would you go down there?
A Every couple of weekends.
Q How often do you go now?
A Twice a year, if that.
Q What did you do down there? What was your form of
recreation when you went down there?
A Hunting, fishing.
Q Okay. Have you been a hunter most of your life?
A Yes, sir.
Q Do you still get a hunting license?
A I have a lifetime license.
Q Have you been hunting the last --
A Yes.
Q -- three years?
A Yes. I go out for a little while. I live on a
farm. I go out there by my house and stand for a little

for a little while and go back.
Q I assume you're a deer hunter?
A Oh, yeah.
Q Have you shot a deer in the last three years?
A Yes, one deer.
Q Were you able to drag it out of the woods?
A No, sir. I can't.
Q Who helped you with that, your son?
A My son. I have a cell phone and a radio that I
take with me just in case.
Q What happens when you shoot a gun? Does that
affect --
A It kills me. It kills me.
Q What kind of gun do you shoot?
A 243. I got the lightest caliber I could get.
Q Did you have to get a lighter gun after you got
injured?
A Yes.
Q What did you shoot before that?
A A 270 and a 30.06.
Q What about -- are you a fisherman?
A Oh, yeah.
Q Can you still -- can you still go fishing?
A No, I don't fish no more anymore. I own a eight

acre lake and excellent bass fishing, and I haven't fished
that in over two years.
Q Do you golf at all?
A No.
Q Did you ever?
A No. I can't see chasing that little white ball.
Q Okay. Did you have other hobbies other than
hunting and fishing --
A No.
Q -- that you used to spend a lot of time doing?
A No, just hunting and fishing.
Q What about things that you and your wife used to
do? Are there things that you used to do? I know you
mentioned you don't like going out to eat anymore.
A We used to travel a lot, travel to Europe and
stuff. And she likes to go on cruises, but I won't go
anymore.
Q When was the last time you went on vacation with
your wife?
A You'll have to ask her. I can't remember.
Q Okay. Do you remember the last vacation you went
on, what you did?
A I think we went to Europe the last vacation we was

Germany, Austria, France, and Italy.
Q I assume that was a couple of weeks at least?
A No, eleven days.
Q Eleven days?
A Riding on the bus I -- I just couldn't do nothing
at night time. I just went to the hotel and got in an easy
chair. And I like doing that stuff, but I can't do it no
more.
Q Do you have grandchildren?
A Yes.
Q Okay. How old are they?
A My granddaughter is going to be eight, and my
grandson is going to be four.
Q Are there things that you feel you can't do with
them?
A Yes, very much so.
Q What things are they?
A I can't go fishing with them. And my grandson
loves to go and shoot his BB gun even though he's only four
years old. But I just sit there at the house, you know, and
shoot with him. I can't go down the pasture in the woods
with him. I'm afraid of slipping and falling, you know,
hurting myself.

the neck pain?
A I hate to say this in front of everybody, but I
can't sleep in my bed with my wife.
Q You mentioned that it's uncomfortable for you to
lay down?
A I can't.
Q How do you sleep?
A I sleep in a recliner.
Q Okay. And how long have you been doing that?
A Since day one.
Q Since you had the fall?
A Yes.
Q Are you -- do you sleep well?
A No, I don't. I don't. That's why I'm so agitated
at home all the time.
Q All right. Do you take any type of sleep aid?
A No. The doctor wanted me to take sleeping stuff,
Dr. Costello, and I'm not one for taking pills.
Q Okay. How many hours a night will you sleep?
A Just a couple.
Q Okay.
A You know.
Q What bothers you when you're sleeping? Is it

A I got to keep getting up all the time because of my
back and the back of my head. That aches 24 hours a day, my
head.
Q Anything else that you can think of that is
something that has affected your life since you've had this
fall?
A You know, I could sit here and give you a million
things, but they're irrelevant, I guess.
Q Well, if they're important to you, they're not.
A Well, just about everything that I could do before
I can't do now.
Q Okay.
A You know, I just can't do it. I used to like to
take my four wheeler. I have 50 acres of land, and I used
to like to go four wheeling. I can't do that no more. I
have farm tractors my son uses. I like to bail hay. I like
to rake hay. I can't do any of that because I can't sit in
the tractor.
Q Does somebody else now tend to your farm and do all
the things that you used to do?
A My son. My son and his wife and my daughter and
her husband help.
Q Have you ever hired anybody, outside help --
A No.

Q Okay. Who's paying the medical expenses that you
have for the treatment? Is it --
A My Medicare.
Q Is it Medicare?
A And me. I pay the co-payment.
Q All right. Is there any private health insurance
company?
A No, sir.
Q Okay. It's Medicare, and then you pay the co-pay?
A Yes.
MR. REESER: Have you been receiving letters from
Medicare? I don't know, Mike, maybe you've been receiving
letters from Medicare about a lien?
MR. KOSIK: I think we have received notification
of a lien. I know we typically contact them once we know
that they've paid bills. I don't know if I have those here
though.
MR. REESER: I'm curious as to what the amount is.
MR. KOSIK: Well, I won't say it's current, but I
know that what we have that Medicare paid was just shy of
5,000.

BY MR. REESER:
Q And I might very well be done.
A It's just I hurt so darn bad. I ain't going to
tire or anything. Sorry for being that way.
Q I want to ask you about something that's in Dr.
Lilik's records. When I asked you when you began to -- to
have the drooling out of the right side of your mouth you
said immediately, or from day one. Am I correct about that,
or am I wrong?
A Well, it was right in the first week there that I
started to drool.
Q Okay. Okay.
A Because I -- when I went to the emergency room at
the hospital I was scared because of this. And the doctor
said there, I think you might have had a stroke when you
fell.
Q Um-hum.
A And then they tested me for that, for having a
stroke, and there was no stroke.
Q Okay.
A But I can't remember everything in detail.
Q The reason I'm asking is Dr. Lilik put in his

records you noticed it about three to four weeks after the
incident.
A I can't remember. To be honest with you, I can't
remember.
Q It could have been right away, or it could have
been three to four weeks?
A Yeah, I can't remember, you know.
Q You're not sure one way or the other?
A I'm not sure.
Q All right.
A I don't want to lie to you and say I did and I
didn't, you know.
Q Okay. Do you know when you talk -- when you saw
Dr. Holla, the neurosurgeon who's on Spruce Street in
Scranton, whether you discussed with him the drooling
problem?
A I can't remember. To be -- I'm going to tell you
something. I went there with all these big photos. I put
them on this thing. He has a thing on the wall that you put
them on. He didn't even put them on the wall. He just
fanned through them on his desk and started telling me what
he wanted to do to me. I didn't like the man, and that's
why I never went back. And that's the truth.
Q Okay.

Q Have you worn any type of braces, like a back brace
or a neck brace?
A Yes. I have a thing that goes around me here that
I wear to work, and I wear it wherever I go. I don't have
it today because it won't fit with my suit on. I have to
wear it on the outside. It's a big, wide thing that Dr.
Costello sent me for.
Q Okay. Did you get that at a medical supply store
of some sort?
A Yes, yes.
Q Okay. And you say you wear it all the time even if
you're not working?
A I have to sleep with it on. And in a chair because
I wouldn't -- like sitting here, if I had that on, it would
help me. But at home I -- I go to bed with it on at night
time. I have it on all the time.
Q Do you wear any type of brace for your neck?
A No, sir.
MR. REESER: All right. I think that's all the
questions I have for you. Thank you.

RE: Stone v. HMC Hospitality Management

Date of Loss: 02/11/2003
MDWCG File No.: 13131-00107
NFC File: PA-25550-LBI
Property Address: Radisson Penn Harris Hotel Convention Center
1150 Camp Hill Bypass, Camp Hill PA 17011
Dear Mr. Reeser:
In accordance with your assignment to us on October 24, 2008 we contacted your office and
conducted an inspection on October 30, 2008 and January 9, 2009 at the insured risk located at
the property address above. Based on your request on November 11*) 2008 we have prepared
this report.
SCOPE OF SERVICE
At your request we:
1. Inspected the relevant property of the insured risk.
2. Evaluated the conditions of the site.
3. Prepared a written report of our findings.
4. Reviewed Depositions.
5. Reviewed Weather Reports.
6. Reviewed snow/salting logs.
DESCRIPTION OF LOSS:
The plaintiff, John Stone was exiting the Radisson Penn Harris Hotel Convention Center through
Entrance A at approximately 8 am on the Date of loss when he slipped on ice resulting in injury.
It is alleged that the patch of ice that he slipped on was caused as a result of water dripping from a
copper roof gutter above the sidewalk.
FINDINGS
Upon arrival we met with you and Gary Schultz of the Radisson who provided us access to the
site. If you are facing the property looking toward the main entrance to the hotel lobby Entrance
A is on the left side of the front elevation of this section of the building.
-1-
NFC File: PA-25550-LBI
We examined the site, took photographs and tested the roof, gutter and down spout system for
leaks with flowing water from a garden hose and sprayed onto the roof. On the day of our site
visit it was sunny and clear and the pavement was dry. The gutter at Exit A had no standing
water and when water was sprayed onto the roof it drained to the gutter and downspout and the
underground drain line without becoming backed up or leaking.
We reviewed the Radisson Penn Harris Snow Removal Log and find that on the log documents
the snow removal and spreading of salt between 6:30 am to 11:30 am and spreading salt again
between 7:30 pm to 8:00 pm on the date of loss provided for a reasonable amount of effort in
removing the snow and ice from the sidewalks.
We also reviewed black and white photo copies of the ramp at Entrance A taken by the plaintiff
on the date of loss and there is a black patch in the photo at the base of the ramp.
On January 8, 2009 we made a second site visit and dimensioned the ramp, the slope of the ramp
and the double exit door way.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on our observations and the testing we conducted we did not see any evidence of leaking in
the gutter system in general and specifically at the seam which was sealed with solder. Based on
the information received the gutter system has not been repaired or replaced since the date of loss.
Given the fact it does not leak now and no repairs have been made to this same gutter since the
incident the ice deposit in the photograph provided could not have been a flaw in the gutter
The location where the slip and fall occurred was sloped. The documents and photographs
reviewed mentioned and indicate the presence of ice, the source of the water that formed the ice is
unknown.
We reviewed the weather reports for the date of loss and the date prior to the loss and find that the
temperature overnight would have caused water coming from any source deposited on the
concrete pavement to freeze. Based on the photographs the ice was an isolated patch at the base
of the entrance ramp with space on the ramp to pass free and clear of this location.
After reviewing the slope of the ramp, width of the ramp and the exit doorway we find these to be
in compliance with the requirements found in the 2006 International Building Code.
I reserve the right to supplement or amend these findings and/or opinions should new information
become available.
If you have any questions or comments, please call me at 717-737-1559
Sincerely,
Bruce C. Ensor, P.E.

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNA.
CIVIL ACTION -LAW
NO. 05-4727
: JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
RESPONSE TO MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT OF DEFENDANTS
AND NOW Comes the Plaintiffs, John Stone and Mary Ann Stone, and file the within
Response to the Motion for Summary Judgment of Defendants, averring as follows:
1. It is admitted that on February 11, 2003, Plaintiff John Stone was a guest, along
with his wife and daughter, at the Radisson Penn Harris Hotel in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.
2. It is admitted that on the morning of February 11, 2003, Plaintiff John Stone was
carrying his and his family's suitcases to his truck before checking out of the hotel. It is further
admitted that he was exiting via a side entry/exit doorway (Entrance A) which leads to a parking
lot where his truck was located. At the time he was exiting, he was carrying a suitcase, an
overnight bag, and a small shopping bag as described in his deposition at page 28 and 29, which
was attached to Defendant's Motion as Exhibit A.
3. Denied. It is specifically denied that Plaintiff John Stone said that he was not
paying attention to the ramp. Plaintiff John Stone arrived at the Radisson Penn Harris late in the
afternoon or early evening the day before. When he arrived at the hotel, there were no adverse
weather conditions. He was also aware that on the morning of the fall there were no adverse
weather conditions since there was no precipitation which occurred overnight. He was carrying
his luggage out to the truck so that they could then proceed to the Pennsylvania Sports and
Outdoor Show at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg after checking out. Plaintiff John Stone
stated that as he exited the building, his attention was directed to a woman, directly across from
the exit, who was in the process of putting something on top of her car. It should be noted that
the area outside the doorway which Mr. Stone was exiting was covered by a roof, and Plaintiff
John Stone had no reason to expect any adverse conditions to exist as he exited the building.
4. Denied as stated. Plaintiff John Stone slipped and fell on an isolated patch of ice
located on the ramp and just below the edge of the roof covering the exit through which he had
just proceeded.
5. It is admitted that Plaintiff John Stone's wife, Mary Ann Stone, took several
photographs of the ice on which her husband fell a short time after he came back to the room and
explained what happened. Although Defendant attached a black and white copy of the
photograph as Exhibit B to its Motion, Plaintiff is attaching three color photographs, which are
all of the photographs which Plaintiff Mary Ann Stone took shortly after the incident. See
photographs attached hereto as Exhibit A.
407940 2
6. Denied as stated. It is undisputed based upon the testimony and weather data
obtained from the National Climatic Data Center for the weather reporting station at the
Harrisburg International Airport that the temperatures had risen above freezing the evening
before and then dropping below freezing in the early morning hours of February 11, 2003. A
copy of the local weather data from the National Climatic Data Center is attached hereto as
Exhibit B. Defendant's chief engineer, Michael Shoop, testified that he requested his grounds
crew to come in early on the morning of February 11, 2003 because of the weather conditions
and the concern over a refreeze. See relevant portion of Michael Shoop's deposition p. 25-26
attached as Exhibit C. A snow and ice removal log produced by the Defendant confirms that an
employee whose initials were "C.E." returned to the hotel at 6:30 a.m. on February 11, 2003 for
the purposes of checking for ice which may have reformed. See Snow and Ice Removal Log
attached as Exhibit D.
Additionally, Kenneth Bomgardner, Jr., another maintenance employee on the staff at the
Radisson Penn Harris at the time confirmed that the entry and exits, both the main one, as well as
Entrance A through which Mr. Stone was exiting at the time of his fall, were high priority areas
which are to be checked by any maintenance employee. See relevant portions of Kenneth
Bomgardner's deposition p. 16 attached as Exhibit E. Plaintiff John Stone's fall occurred at
approximately 8:20 a.m. as indicated on the Incident Report completed shortly after his fall. See
Incident Report attached as Exhibit F. Plaintiff John Stone's fall occurred almost two hours after
the maintenance employee responsible for performing maintenance in the high priority areas had
already arrived at work. Plaintiff maintains that it is clear from the photographs taken by Mary
Ann Stone immediately after the fall that there is absolutely no evidence of any type of skid
resistant material in the area where the ice had formed, nor any materials which would assist in
407840 3
the melting of the ice which formed. Plaintiffs further maintain that it is evident from the ice
depicted in the photographs that the ice did not come as a result of a spill or a natural
accumulation. The ice has the appearance of a uniform patch of ice which a jury would be more
than within its bounds to determine came from a drip from the gutter or roof over the doorway
from which Plaintiff John Stone exited. See photographs attached as Exhibit A. Plaintiff John
Stone testified that he is a painting contractor who is very familiar with gutters, including copper
gutters, and that based upon his observation of the ice which formed and the gutter at that
location which has a seam located directly above the drip, that the ice formed as a result of a drip
coming off the gutter or roof in that area. Plaintiff maintains that Plaintiff John Stone is certainly
capable of expressing this lay opinion based upon his experience and his observations.
Additionally, Plaintiffs wife, Mary Ann Stone, as well as his daughter, also came to the same
conclusion based upon their observations of the location and nature of ice on the sidewalk.
Plaintiffs attach hereto a photograph showing that the location of the seam in the copper gutter is
directly over the area where the ice formed on the sidewalk. See photograph attached hereto as
Exhibit G which can be compared to the photographs of the ice photographed by Plaintiff s wife,
Mary Ann Stone, attached as Exhibit A.
Plaintiff maintains that these photographs alone provide sufficient circumstantial
evidence from which a jury could can conclude that the ice formed as a result of dripping water
from the gutter or from the overhang. Given the weather conditions which existed overnight and
the time when the refreezing would have occurred, the jury would have more than enough
evidence to conclude that the Defendant had more than sufficient time to identify the hazardous
condition and warn or correct the condition prior to Plaintiff's fall.
407840 4
7. Denied as stated. Plaintiff John Stone admits that he did not actually see a drip
from the gutter. However, it is common sense that a gutter would not continue to drip after
temperatures had dropped below freezing for several hours. Any water in the gutter would have
frozen by the time of Plaintiffs fall as did the ice which formed on the sidewalk. It is admitted
that Plaintiff did not see a crack or hole in the gutter, however, Plaintiff never made this
inspection given his injuries. Plaintiff's wife, Mary Ann Stone, did photograph the condition,
and Plaintiff and his family brought it to the attention of the hotel who never took any action to
correct the dangerous condition while Plaintiffs were at the hotel. See Vass deposition pp. 20-21
attached as Exhibit H.
8. Denied. Plaintiff would point out that this accident occurred on February 11,
2003. In deposing the Defendant's employees, Plaintiffs' counsel inquired as to whether any
inspection was made of the gutter or what may have created the condition after it was reported
by Plaintiff. No individual from the Defendant's facility could confirm that any inspection or
effort was made to determine the cause for the ice which formed at the location where Plaintiff
fell. Defendant's insurance representative also conducted an investigation and was on site and
took photographs of the area of the fall on March 5, 2003, less than a month after the fall and no
effort was made to determine the source of the ice. Defendant's expert inspected the gutter on
October 30, 2008 which is more than five years and eight months after Plaintiffs fall. Any
inspection at this time is irrelevant to conditions which existed at the time of Plaintiff s fall.
9. Denied as stated. It is admitted that the Defendant has not provided any records
indicating repairs or maintenance were performed on the roof or gutter over the entrance and exit
doorway where Plaintiff fell. Plaintiff requested invoices and records indicating any repairs
being made by any outside contractors as well as any maintenance performed by the hotel staff.
407840 5
Plaintiff has not been provided any maintenance records other than the Ice and Snow Removal
Logs for work performed by the Defendant's employees. As previously stated, the Defendant
nor its employees conducted any investigation into the cause or source of the ice, in spite of the
fact that Plaintiff John Stone reported the incident. An incident report was created (see Exhibit
F) and Defendant's own procedure, based upon the testimony of the Defendant's maintenance
employees, confirmed that a report should have been made to confirm the maintenance
performed to correct the condition.
10. Denied. Plaintiffs had no intention of retaining an expert since no documentation
exists other than Plaintiff Mary Ann Stone's photographs. However, after reviewing
Defendant's Motion and engineering report, Plaintiffs' counsel elected to have the discovery
reviewed and obtain an engineering report A copy of the report of James C. Druecker, P.E. is
attached as Exhibit I.
11. Denied. It is specifically denied that Plaintiff has not alleged nor provided proof
of the cause for the ice on the sidewalk. Plaintiff further denies that Plaintiff has an obligation to
provide proof of the cause for the ice on the sidewalk. A review of Plaintiffs' Complaint which
was filed by Plaintiffs' former counsel in Lackawanna County before the case was transferred to
Cumberland County, contained in paragraph 12 numerous allegations of negligence on the part
of the Defendant for failing to properly maintain and supervise the area where Plaintiff fell,
failing to give notice of the dangerous conditions of which it was or should have been aware, and
failing to correct the dangerous condition. Further allegations included failing to apply ice
melting agents or cinder agents on the patch of ice, failing to adequately control water run off
from gutters and downspouts, failing to repair gutters and downspouts as well as other general
allegations concerning negligence in the repair and maintenance of their facility and negligence
407840 6
in the failing to correct a dangerous condition which existed. Similar to a dangerous condition
which may exist in a supermarket, Plaintiff does not have to specifically identify the source of
the water which ultimately froze and created the dangerous condition which existed at the time
of Plaintiff's fall. Plaintiff can establish through circumstantial evidence that more likely than
not the water came from a source under Defendant's control and can establish through
circumstantial evidence how long the ice was in existence at that location. Plaintiff maintains
that based upon the photographs taken by Plaintiffs wife, Mary Ann Stone, as well as Plaintiff's
testimony and that of his family, more than sufficient evidence exists for a jury to determine the
issue of facts in this case, preventing summary judgment. Plaintiffs' expert report further
identifies additional basis for a jury to conclude that the Defendant was negligent in the
maintenance of their property.
13. Denied. Plaintiffs are not under an obligation to present evidence to establish
exactly how long the dangerous and defective condition existed on the sidewalk. Plaintiff can
confirm that there was no ice on the sidewalk the evening before when he went into the hotel.
As stated previously, based upon the Defendant's own chief engineer's statement concerning his
own concerns for the rising temperatures the night before and then falling temperatures early in
the morning of Plaintiff John Stone's fall, the Defendant was on notice of a potential dangerous
condition. Defendant had one of its employees come in at 6:30 in the morning to check for and
take care of dangerous conditions which existed and have absolutely no record of having any
maintenance performed on the area where Plaintiff fell. Plaintiff, through the local
climatological data, confirmed the temperatures on the day before and the morning of Plaintiff's
fall, as well as photographs of the ice formation on the sidewalk on which Plaintiff fell, has more
than sufficient circumstantial evidence to establish that the ice came from an overflowing or
407840 7
dripping rain gutter and that the ice existed for a sufficient period of time for the Defendant to be
on notice and take corrective action. Plaintiffs' expert provided additional basis from which a
jury can find the Defendant negligent. More than ample evidence exists from which a jury may
find that the Defendant was negligent and that negligence caused Plaintiff John Stone's fall and
resulting injuries.
14. This averment is a conclusion of law to which no response is required.
15. Denied. As stated previously, Plaintiff Strongly maintains the Defendants are not
entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Plaintiffs maintain that there is sufficient evidence
concerning the potential cause or source of the water and ice on the sidewalk and that the water
and ice on the sidewalk existed for a sufficient period of time for the Defendants to have taken
corrective action creating a question of fact for the jury. Additionally, Plaintiffs' expert has
identified additional basis for the jury to determine that the Defendant was negligent in the
maintenance of the entry/exit doorway and ramp.
16. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs John and Mary Ann Stone respectfully request Your Honorable
Court deny Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment.
P.C.

A Right.
Q And it appeared that you had a pretty good
knowledge of what the weather was like on the day of the
fall and the -- even the weather the evening before.
A okay.
Q Do you recall, was that something which you just
remembered, or was it because you had done some study of
the logs or --
A Well, like you said, it was only three weeks
past, so stuff, you know, within a month, you know, is
still in my mind.
Q You must be younger than me.
A It's embarrassing because I cannot remember who
Charles Edouard was that worked for me. Typically I
thought I knew would never forget anybody that worked for
me, I just don't remember this guy.
Q And not to say what you indicated in the
statement was inaccurate, but my recollection of your
statement, certainly correct me if I am wrong, is that you
remember that the temperature on the evening before
Mr. Stone's fall on the 11th, the morning of the 11th, had
risen and that there was a thawing?
A Yes.
Q And that you specifically had someone come in
early the next morning for the purpose of checking

sidewalks?
A That explains why he was in at 6:30 a.m. instead
of his normal shift of eight, so --
MR. REESER: He being?
THE WITNESS: The groundskeeper, CE.
BY MR. KOSIK:
Q So that was something which you anticipated?
A Yes.
Q Would it be fair to say that you yourself did not
go out and check that morning, that would have been
something that you would:have set up the night before?
A I don't understand.
Q You didn't come into work early to check the
sidewalks, then call in this grounds crew, CE, to come
and --
A No, probably what I did, this is only an
assumption on my part, this is how I typically would have
done it, is looking at the weather, realizing, hey, it's
going to warm up tonight, then it's going to really get
cold overnight, knowing that there is snow on the ground,
it's going to melt, there is going to be icy spots, I would
have scheduled it that way.
Q Okay. And other than his log, you would have no
idea of where he started, where he was at any point during
the hours that he logged in as doing maintenance for snow

plenty of salt there for us to use.
Q Mr. Bomgardner, I am going to show you some
photographs which were previously marked as Exhibit 3 to
Mr. Shoop's deposition. These are photographs taken on the
morning of Mr. Stone's fall by his wife.
I will represent to you that they show an icy
patch on the ramp outside Entrance A.
A Uh-huh.
Q Do you have any recollection of seeing that ice
patch?
A No.
Q Have you ever encountered a problem outside
Entrance A before that you can recall when you worked at
the Radisson Penn Harris?
A No. As many times I have been there in the
winter times, and that place, this was always salted. This
was one of our main priorities right here was this one
because it is a ramp and it is handicapped.
Q Okay.
A I was always told that, make sure that area is
salted all of time. So that was my priority right there,
plus the rest of the main entrance, all of the other
entrances too.
Q While you worked at the Radisson, do you ever

The evidence clearly reveals that there was a patch of ice where John Stone slipped and
fell. This is confirmed by Michael Shoop, Michael Drake, Mary Stone, and Jacqueline
Vass. This is also verified by the photographs taken by Ms. Stone.
The source of the water is snow/ice melt that fell from above that dripped onto the egress
ramp and then froze. The path of the water was through the seam or joint of the gutter
above. The location of the ice patch is directly below seam or joint. The shape of the
patch on the ramp reveals a slow drip. The weather conditions on February Id :h and
February 11 m was conducive to the icy condition that existed at the time of Mr. Stone's
slip and fall. The "testing" done by Mr. Ensor six years after the accident date would not
necessarily reveal a slow drip or a fast drip, and is of no value.
A gutter seam or joint is always a location for a potential leak. Even though a copper
gutter expands and contracts less than an aluminum gutter, there still is movement that
can open a seam or joint and allow a small drip. Therefore, a seam or joint in a gutter
should never be placed over a walkway. The likelihood of an icy walking condition is
greatly increased with a seam or joint in the gutter. A soldered joint is not an expansion
joint. Sealing is still required. The photos show moisture damage on the fascia behind the
gutter revealing an ongoing problem. An icy spot on a walkway m an otherwise clear
walkway and parking lot is unexpected, and in my opinion presents a hazardous and
dangerous condition. Mr. Stone was a guest at the hotel and this is the first time he exited
at this door.
The "International Building Code 2003" indicates that outdoor ramps shall be designed
so that water will not accumulate on walking surfaces and exterior ramps in climates
subject to snow or ice shall be designed to minimize the accumulation of same. The
"International Property Maintenance Code 2003" indicates that all. sidewalks, walkways,
and similar areas shall be kept in a proper state of repair, and maintained free from
hazardous conditions. In addition, roof drains, gutters, and downspouts shall be
maintained in good repair.
The records of Radisson Penn Harris indicate that salting was done between 6:30 am and
10:00 am on February 11th. The photos taken by Ms. Stone do not show any salt
treatment. If the icy spot would have been properly inspected (this is a handicap entrance,
and primary location and priority area for treatment) and properly treated by Radisson
Penn Harris, there would not have been the ice patch on which Mr. Stone slipped.

In summary, my investigation revealed, and it is my opinion to a reasonable degree of
engineering certainty, that:
1) there was an icy patch that caused John Stone to slip and fall;
2) the icy patch was in an unanticipated and unexpected location;
3) there is no evidence that there was not a leak from the seam or joint of the gutter;
4) the evidence and physical conditions reveal that there was a leak from the gutter;
5) the construction and positioning of a gutter seam or joint over a walkway
represents improper construction;
6) the icy patch where John Stone slipped and fell was improperly and inadequately
treated with salt even though inspection and treatment had been occurring for
almost two hours prior to the fall;
7) the icy patch created an unsafe, dangerous, and hazardous condition, and was the
cause of the slip and fall of John Stone;
8) the icy patch was the result of improper maintenance by Radisson Penn Harris.
Please feel free to call if you have any questions.
