A couple has filed a car accident lawsuit after they were rear-ended in Pennsylvania.

Plaintiffs Jeffry R. and Suzanna V. filed the car accident lawsuit demanding jury trail. The lawsuit was filed on July 20, 2018.

Defendant Brian B., a citizen and resident of the state of Pennsylvania, faces a recent car accident lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania over personal injury allegations.

According to the car accident lawsuit, on Aug. 27, 2016, at approximately 3:00 p.m. Jeffrey was legally operating a 1999 Audi A6 along with Suzanna as a passenger. The vehicle was stopped at a stop sign on the I-95 ramp in Aramingo Avenue, in Pennsylvania.

The couple alleges that without warning, Brian, who was operating a 2013 Jeep Wrangler, allegedly carelessly and negligently struck the back of the plaintiff’s vehicle, causing permanent injuries.

The driver who is alleged to be the cause of the accident is being accused of failing to properly operate a vehicle under adequate control, operating a vehicle at a “high and excessive rate of speed,” failing to exercise due care, violating Pennsylvania motor vehicle statutes, violating the Assured Clear Distance Rule, and negligence.

Overview: Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit

After a serious accident, you may be wondering whether you may also be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit and claim financial compensation for your injuries. A personal injury lawsuit is a civil lawsuit filed by an injured person against the party and/or entity or individual responsible for the injury.

Even you were not severely harmed in an accident, you still may have a very valid personal injury lawsuit. You may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit if:

• You suffered from a personal injury (not just property damage);
• Your injuries caused by another person or entities’ negligence; and
• You suffered “recoverable” damages.

A personal injury may be any injury suffered to the mind, body, and emotions. Alternatively, personal injuries may be psychological and/or physical.

For example, any experiences such as insomnia, anxiety, and depression suffered after a traumatic car accident are qualifications for personal injury. Slipping and falling in a grocery store may also lead to medical problems and mean you suffered personal injuries. However, a small fender bender in which no injuries (psychological or bodily) were caused is not a personal injury.

Most personal injury lawsuits are based on the legal concept of negligence. According to the law, negligence is “The failure to do an act which a reasonable careful person would do, or the doing of an act which a reasonably careful person would not do, under the same or similar circumstances to protect oneself or others from bodily injury, death, property damage.”

When a person or entity acts carelessly and causes injury to another person, that person can be rendered “liable” or legally responsible for those injuries. Due to injuries suffered, a court may award you a sum of money that can help with incurred medical bills, physical and emotional pain or suffering, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and loss of companionship and support.

The Car Accident Lawsuit is Case No. 2:18-cv-03054-PBT, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
