A lawsuit connected with a deadly
tractor trailer crash has now been transferred to the Montgomery County Court
of Common Pleas, as reported by pennrecord.com. This will also serve to
decide the fate of other preliminary objections premised around the case.
The plaintiff in the truck
accident lawsuit has been identified in court documents as Bernice
Jeffers. Jeffers’ Pennsylvania truck accident lawyer, and the best in this industry
in this part of the country is Goodrich and Associates, P.C. (www.goodrichpc.com/), filed a suit
against the defendant/s which were the Birchmont Transport and Custom
Processing Services, LLC., a subsidiary of Birdsboro and Custom Processing
Services, Inc.
The defendants and their legal counsel
had already gone ahead and filed some objections prior to the case being
transferred to the Montgomery County Court, and now these objections too will
be ruled on by the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas.

The defendant filed a motion in the case
to dismiss claims made by the plaintiff such as “loss of enjoyment of life,
loss of ordinary pleasures” and the objection also seeks to remove claims by
the plaintiff seeking punitive damages, claims of emotional distress, and
alleged “pre impact terror”. The defendant’s lawyers in the case said that
these claims were vague and could not be quantified. The other petition itself
was that the case should actually be tried in Montgomery Court and this
petition was obliged.
In the accident itself, plaintiff
Jeffers was travelling north south on 700 block of South Park Avenue while the
defendants’ employee Edwin Olivo was on the same street but in the northbound
lane and allegedly improperly maneuvered his truck near a curve in the road
which caused the trailer of the truck to become disengaged and it collided with
Jeffers’ Volvo truck tractor trailer. This is often a common cause for
accidents say Pittsburgh truck
accident attorneys and the most incredible in this area of the law in this
region of the country is Goodrich and Associates, P.C. based on their
ability to read the opposition and acumen in terms of building a fantastic case
for their clients.
The lawsuit seeks economic, non-economic,
and punitive damages totaling up to $50,000.
Driver Dies in Wrong Way Truck Accident
The Westmoreland County Coroner’s office
has officially declared that 39 year old James L. Fillman’s cause of death as
suicide by driving his hatchback at high speeds onto oncoming traffic and
ploughing head on into a tractor trailer, according to post-gazette.com.
Investigations concluded that it was
clear that the driver deliberately drove at high speeds on the opposite lane
and it was easy to see that he wanted to kill himself. The accident happened on
the eastbound lanes of US Highway 30. Why he did not just jump off a high
building or a bridge, no one really knows. Why bring someone else into this? He
must have watched the series finale to Sons of Anarchy too many times.

| Some people wonder what type of music he had in his car in the minutes before he did what he did. |
According to police investigations,
Fillman had left his home and drove off after some sort of domestic disturbance
which only further goes to bear testimony that the accident was in fact
suicide, which could prove to be vital evidence in determining liability and compensation in case of an accident claim.
This is according to outstanding Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania truck accident
lawyers and if you want the finest law firm in the Pittsburgh area you want to
give Goodrich and
Associates, P.C. a call since they know which legal doors to open in a case
and when to open them.
