Moore v. Vasquez, PICS Case No. 16-1084 (C.P. Lackawanna Aug. 24, 2016) Nealon, J. (9 pages).

By | September 09, 2016
Following a counsel-submitted verification that defendants were liable for an automobile accident that caused injuries, and after being AWOL for some time until after the conclusion of the statute of limitations, defendants sought to amend their answer and new matter in order to substitute a different, third-party driver as responsible operator of the vehicle. Allowing them to do so would create severe prejudice for plaintiff, who had no recourse at that late date against the new party and would lose the opportunity for obtaining relief from defendants. The court, and one prior ruling, agreed with plaintiff and denied defendants' motion.
