Case Overview
In August 2019, a minor passenger in a vehicle stopped at the intersection of Easton Road and Bristol Road in Warminster, Pennsylvania, was involved in a rear-end collision. The defendant's vehicle reportedly struck the plaintiffs' vehicle from behind after failing to stop.
The plaintiffs, acting on behalf of the minor, filed a motor vehicle negligence action. They alleged the defendant operated the vehicle at a high speed, in a careless manner, failed to stop, and followed too closely. The minor plaintiff claimed to have sustained contusions, bruising, emotional distress, and post-traumatic stress and anxiety as a result of the collision. The defendant generally denied all allegations of negligence and injury.
The parties subsequently reached a settlement, with the defendant agreeing to pay $8,000 to the minor plaintiff.
