COMPLAINT
1. Plaintiff is an individual, Ronald G. steward, who
resides at 9 East Avenue/ MUllica, NJ, 08062.
2. Defendant is Glen Moore Transport, a Pennsylvania
corporation, doing business at 450 Allen Road and 1511
Commerce Avenue, CarliSle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
17013.
3. On February 16, 1993, an employee of Defendant,
namely, Robert Douglas Elder/ was operating a vehicle, a
1992 Freightliner, in the course of his employment.
(t. '
4. Defendant's employee, driving eastbound on~state
Route 84, attempted to overtake and pass Plaintiff's vehicle
which was also traveling eastbound.
5. Defendant's employee lost control of his vehicle
and travelled sideways into Plaintiff's lane causing
Plaintiff to strike Defendant's vehicle.
6. The accident described above was caused by the
negligence, carelessness and recklessness of the defendant
operator in the operation of the 1992 Freightliner which
negligence was the proximate cause of the injuries and
losaes suffered by the Plaintiff and more partiCUlarly set
out below.
7. The negligence of the Defendant-operator at the
time and place averred consisted of the following:
(a) operating a motor vehicle at too high a rate
of speed for the type of road surface, the type of road
construction, and the topography of the land surface over
which the roadway coursed;
(b) operating a motor vehicle in careless
disregard for the rights and safety of other vehicles and
occupants of other vehicles;
(c) operating a motor vehicle in complete
disregard for the weather and condition of the highway;
(d) violation of the Vehicle Code of
Pennsylvania;
(e) not having his vehicle under the proper
control.
8. At the time of the impact, Plaintiff was operating
his vehicle in a safe and cautious manner and could not
avoid hitting the 1992 Freightliner which was across his
lane of travel. As a result of the impact Plaintiff
suffered cuts on his face, a broken tooth, a cut on his
chest, a torn upper lip, a swollen nose, cut above his left
eye and a cut on his forehead. Plaintiff continues to have
trouble because of the nerve damage to his upper lip.
9. As a result of his injuries suffered as a result of
the negligence of Defendant-operator, Plaintiff has been
required to seek medical services and was billed for the
following:
Orange County Physician services, P.D. - $511.00
Northern Metropolitan Radiology Assoc., PC - $128.00
Mercy Community Hospital - $524.70
10. Plaintiff has suffered pain both physical and
emotional and permanent injuries which will extend into the
future and affect his physical and mental health adversely.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against the
Defendant and for damages. The amount claimed is within the
jurisdictional amount required for arbitration.
