CIVIL ACTION - LAW
DONALD SHIFFLETT
Defendant
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Abby Goodman, by her attorney,
Emily J. Leader, Esquire, of the law firm of Stock and Leader, and
asserts this cause of action against Defendant, Donald Shifflett
upon the following allegations:
1.
Plaintiff is Abby Goodman, an adult individual who resides at
257 Harrogate Road, Wynnewood, PA
19096.
2.
Defendant is Donald Shifflett, an adult individual who resides
at 6B Richland Lane, Apartment 108, Camp Hill, Cumberland County,
PA 17011.
3.
The facts and occurrences hereinafter related took place at
noon on June 7, 1993 at 30 Erford Road, Camp Hill, PA
17011.
4.
At that time and place, Plaintiff was operating her 1991
Volkswagon Fox.
,
She pulled out of a parking space behind a
restaurant at 30 Erford Road, and she was at a complete stop in the
alley/parking area ten (10) feet from the exit, preparing to back
into Hunter Lane.
5.
At that time and place, Defendant was operating his 1969
Chevrolet automobile and was driving on Erford Road toward Hunter
Lane when his young son put his hands over Defendant's eyes,
preventing him from seeing where he was going. Defendant lost
control cf his car as he made a right turn onto Hunter Lane, and a
left turn into the area where Plaintiff was stopped, hitting
Plaintiff's car with great force.
6.
The foregoing accident and all of the injuries and damages
sustained by Plaintiff are the direct and proximate result of the
following negligent, careless and reckless acts of the Defendant:
a) operating his vehicle at an excessive rate of speed under
the circumstances;
b) failing to have his vehicle under proper and adequate
control;
c) failing to observe Plaintiff's vehicle;
d) permitting or allowing his vehicle to strike and collide
with the rear of Plaintiff's vehicle.
7.
Plaintiff sustained painful and severe injuries to her neck
and back, resulting in cervical pain, shoulder tendinitis and
thoracic outlet syndrome with neck and spinal pain, numbness and
2
persistent muscle spasms, long thoracic nerve damage, medial nerve
damage and ulnar nerve damage.
8.
By ~eason of the aforesaid injuries sustained by Plaintiff,
she was forced to incur expenses for medical treatment,
medications, hospitalizations and similar miscellaneous expenses in
an effort to restore her health.
9.
Because of the nature of her injuries, Plaintiff will be
forced to incur similar expenses in the future.
10.
As a result of the aforementioned injuries, Plaintiff has
undergone, and in the future will undergo, great physical and
mental suffering, great inconvenience in carrying out her daily
activities, and loss of life's pleasures and enjoyment.
11.
Plaintiff continues to be plagued by persistent pain and
limitation and, therefore, avers that her injuries are of a
permanent nature.
12.
As a further result of the aforesaid injuries, Plaintiff lost
wages due to the injuries sustained in this accident.
