Tawfik Atik v. Talisha Thomas and Rapid Transport, Inc.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania personal injury truck wreck lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendant on a auto negligence theory.



Pennsylvania follows a 51 percent comparative negligence rule, which means you can recover damages if you were less than 51 percent at fault. If you are found to carry more than 50 percent of the fault for the accident, you will be unable to seek compensation for damages.

The parties' Joint Motion (Doc. 29 ) to extend discovery is GRANTED, as follows. In light of Plaintiff's anticipated medical treatment, and the parties' scheduling of a second mediation before Judge Lenihan on 6/18/24, this case is STAYED and STATISTICALLY CLOSED. Statistical closure is a non-substantive docket control mechanism, and it does not prejudice the rights of the parties in any way. Should the case not be resolved through mediation, the Court expects that - consistent with the parties' present extension request - all fact discovery will be completed by 6/28/24. By 7/1/24, counsel shall file a joint status report. As appropriate, the Court will lift the stay, reopen the case and reschedule the Post-Discovery Status/Settlement Conference (the Conference presently scheduled for 3/8/24 at 10:00 a.m. is CANCELLED).
