COMPLAINT

 

(Tort – Motor Vehicle)

 

 

Plaintiffs allege as follows:

 

  1. At all times material hereto, Plaintiff, [Plaintiff Name], resided in [Plaintiff’s County of Residence].
  2. At all times mentioned herein, all Defendants were acting on behalf of themselves individually and on behalf, and to benefit, the marital community existing between them and for a family purpose. Further, the true and correct names of Defendants and their spouses fictitiously designated will be supplied by later amendment.
  3. All Defendants named herein were or may have been acting in the course and scope of employment, or agency, for or on behalf of each other, and/or for or on behalf of Defendants. Further the true and correct names of Defendants and their principals fictitiously designated will be supplied by later amendment.
  4. At all times herein, each Defendant was acting in concert, both as an agent and a principal, for and on behalf of all the other Defendants, so that the acts of one Defendant were the acts of all Defendants, thus making all the Defendants jointly and severally liable.
  5. Defendants own and/or maintain the property at [Incident Location].
  6. On or about [Date of Incident], a dangerous condition existed on the property owned and/or maintained by Defendants at above-named location.
  7. Defendants knew or should have known of the existence of the dangerous condition.
  8. Defendants negligently created, allowed to occur, and/or had reason to know of the dangerous condition which posted hazard to persons such as Plaintiff.
  9. Defendants had a duty to protect such persons as Plaintiff from dangers known to or reasonably discoverable by Defendants, their agents and employees.
  10. Defendants and their agents and employees failed to take reasonable measures to protect such persons as Plaintiff from the harm the hazard presented.
  11. As a direct and proximate result of [Defendant’s] negligence and/or negligence per se Plaintiff suffered, and continue to suffer, damages including, but not limited to:
    1. Physical and emotional injuries, some of which may be permanent;
    2. Physical and emotional pain, discomfort, suffering, disability, disfigurement, and anxiety already experienced and to be experienced in the future;
    3. Loss of enjoyment of life and participation in life’s activities to the quality and extent normally enjoyed before the accident already experienced and to be experienced in the future; and
    4. General, special, incidental, consequential, consortium, compensatory and hedonic damages, the full nature and extent of which are not yet determined, including, but not limited to, medical expenses both past and future.
  12. As a direct and proximate result of the above, Plaintiffs are entitled to recover damages from Defendants in an amount to be determined at trial, which is in excess of the minimum jurisdictional limits of this Court.

Wherefore, Plaintiffs pray for judgment against Defendants, jointly and severally, as follows:

  1. For general, special, incidental, consequential, hedonic, consortium and compensatory damages, as alleged above, in amounts to be proven at trial;
  2. For costs incurred herein and accruing;
  3. For interest on the foregoing sums at the statutory rate; and
  4. For such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.
