COMPLAINT
NOW comes the plaintiff, by its attorney, Mark F. Bayley, Esquire, and files this
complaint against the defendants, representing as follows:
1. Plaintiff is BRAMMER PIPE & STEEL, INC., a Texas corporation having its
principal offices at P. O. Box 243, Gainesville, Texas 76241.
2. Defendants are DANIEL A. MILLER, an adult individual, and DAVIDSON
TRUCKING, INC., an Ohio Corporation, both having principal mailing addresses at
1227 Bowling Green Road East, Bradner, Ohio 43406.
3. At all times relevant hereto, defendant Miller was in the employ of defendant
Davidson Trucking, Inc. and was acting within the scope of his employment.
4. On March 2, 2005, defendant Miller, was operating a 2005 truck tractor (VIN No.
1 FUYDWEB8YPE71422) owned by Daniel Davidson, principal owner of defendant
Davidson Trucking, Inc., in Middlesex Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
5. On said date and time, George E. Young, while in the employ of plaintiff and
acting within the scope of his employment, was sleeping in a parked 1996 Peterbilt truck
tractor (VIN No. 1XP5DR8X3TN412337) owned by the plaintiff.
6. The vehicles were parked side by side in the parking lot of the Flying J Truck
Stop just east of the intersection of Interstate 81 and U.S. Route 11 in Middlesex
Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
7. At approximately 7:50 p.m. on March 2, 2005, defendant Miller began to pull out
of his parking space, striking the plaintiff's vehicle in the front left wheel, fender and
bumper, as reported by Patrolman Keith Seibert of the Middlesex Township Police
Department in his official report, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference and
attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
8. Fortunately, the accident caused no personal injuries; however, it did result in
property damages to the truck owned by the plaintiff, as well as other damages as will
be enumerated hereafter.
9. Said collision and the resulting damages incurred by the plaintiff were solely due
to the carelessness, recklessness and negligence of defendant Miller, an employee of
defendant Davidson Trucking, Inc., and acting within the scope of his employment,
including but not limited to the following:
A. In failing to have his vehicle under proper control;
B. In failing to properly and safely maneuver his vehicle from his parking
space without colliding with plaintiffs vehicle while the latter was at rest in its
proper parking place;
C. In failing to take appropriate action to avoid the plaintiffs vehicle; and
D. In otherwise failing to exercise appropriate care and caution under the
circumstances.
10. As the direct result of defendant's negligence, recklessness and carelessness as
aforesaid and the collision that resulted therefrom, plaintiff incurred various property
damages and other losses as follows:
A. An initial day of inactivity and lost income for the truck and driver in the
estimated amount of $1,700.00, due to work on the truck necessary to get it on
the road (new front tires and removal of the front bumper);
B. The sum of $945.52 in said initial repairs, as indicated on Exhibit "B",
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference;
C. Additional repairs in the sum of $1,659.30 to the front end of the plaintiff's
truck tractor once it was returned to Texas, as indicated on Exhibit "C", attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference;
D. Front end alignment of the plaintiff's truck tractor at a cost of $200.00.
11. The total costs incurred by the plaintiff due solely to the negligence and
carelessness of defendant amounted to $4,504.82.
12. Plaintiff's damages were the foreseeable result of Defendant's negligent conduct.
13. Defendant's negligence was the actual and proximate cause of Plaintiff's
damages.
14. Plaintiff's counsel made a demand a comprehensive demand of the defendants
to reimburse the plaintiff for these damages by letter dated May 4, 2005, a copy of
which (less the documentation which was attached) is incorporated herein by reference
and attached hereto as Exhibit "0".
WHEREFORE, plaintiff demands judgment against the defendants in the amount of
$4,504.82, plus costs of this action and delay damages from May 4, 2005.

1227 BOWLING GREEN RD EAST
BRADNER OH 43406
RE: Claimant:
D/L:
BRAMMER PIPE & STEEL INC
March 2, 2005
Dear Mr. Davidson:
I have been retained to represent the interests of Brammer Pipe & Steel, Inc. regarding
an accident caused by one of your drivers, Daniel A. Miller, on March 2, 2005. The
accident occurred in the Flying J parking lot in Middlesex Township, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania. I have attached a police report prepared by Middlesex Police
Department clearly indicating that Mr. Miller was at fault in this accident (see Exhibit
"A"). Fortunately, no one was hurt by Mr. Miller's negligence; however, my client did
incur property damages and other damages for which he intends to be reimbursed. The
following is a statement of demand, which includes the repairs necessary to get the
Brammer truck back on the road, the expenses of repairing the truck, lost wages for the
driver and lost income from the inability to use the truck during its repair time. All of
these items have been reported to your company, but, unfortunately, up to this time you
have chosen to ignore Brammer's request for reimbursement.
Damaaes
Following the accident, Brammer's driver, who had been asleep in the sleeper at the
time of the accident, spent a day trying to get the truck driveable to deliver his load. He
was able to have this accomplished at Flying J by 5:00 p.m. the next day and left
Carlisle with new front tires and the front bumper cut off. Once he arrived back in
Gainesville, Texas, Brammer attempted for three days to contact your company, but
only reached an answering service. When my client was finally called back by Tim
Carr, Mr. Carr instructed him to obtain two estimates and then he would decide what to
do. Unfortunately, Mr. Brammer was unable to take the time to obtain another estimate,
as that would have required him to drive another 150 miles away to get a second
estimate. He had the truck repaired locally and sent a request for payment of the Flying
J repairs and Phil's Collision Repair initial estimate - a combined $1,963.52 (See
I? XJt/8' T " n"
IRWIN LAW OFFICE
Brammer v. Davidson
Moy 4, 2005
Page Two
Pictures of truck at Exhibit "B" and repair bills at Exhibit "C"). At that point, Mr. Carr
indicated that your company would refuse to make any compensation to Brammer.
My client then proceeded to have the repairs performed by Phil's Collision Repair. The
actual repairs, including additional parts that were needed, ended up costing my
client$1,659.30, in addition to the Flying J repairs cost of $945.52. In addition, the
vehicle required front end alignment ($200), the driver lost $200 in wages, and Brammer
Pipe & Steel lost $1,500 in lost income during the downtime for repairs (see Exhibit "0").
Demand
Based on all of the foregoing, I have been authorized to demand the sum of $4,504.82
in full satisfaction of this claim. Please review this claim and advise me as soon as
possible as to your position. I look forward to resolving this amicably and hope that we
will be able to do so. However, if I do not receive an appropriate response by May 11,
2005, I will recommend that my clients file suit against you here in Pennsylvania.
Very truly yours,
Harold S. Irwin, III
