For this assignment, you will be drafting a Complaint based on a given scenario and responding to a question related to the Unit materials. Instructions: 1. Complaint: Introduction: Throughout this class you will be working on "real life" assignments involving the following accident scenario. The fictional case (with a fairly typical accident scenario) is based in Connecticut and we will follow Connecticut procedural rules. Since Post University is located in Connecticut and many students are from different states, I have selected Connecticut to be "the State" for purposes of these assignments. Rest assured, the skills you learn in this class will be transferable to your own state if you are not from Connecticut. You will be drafting a Complaint in Negligence for Personal Injuries based on the following scenario. The names of the parties, attorneys, and law firms are all fictional although the fact pattern of the accident is pretty common! To help you draft your complaint, you can refer to Connecticut Practice Book Sections 10-1, 10-2, and 10-8, a sample complaint in Negligence on page 137 of our textbook, and detailed directions set forth below. A 'perfect' Complaint is not expected. This is not law school. Please try your best to analyze the given fact pattern, include the relevant information, and pay particular attention to sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation. Scenario: On December 16, 2017 at 4:30 pm, Distracted Daisy was driving her new car while texting her best friend to meet her at the mall. Distracted Daisy was driving eastbound on Happy Hill Lane in MakeBelieve, Connecticut. Distracted Daisy was so focused on LAW203 - Civil Litigation Unit 2 Assignment: Draft a Complaint Copyright 2022 Post University, All Rights Reserved her texting that she did not notice that the light turned red on Happy Hill Lane at the intersection of Doom and Gloom Road and that the car in front of her came to a stop. Distracted Daisy drove right into the vehicle causing an accident, which damaged the back end of the other vehicle and caused injuries to the unsuspecting driver, Bad Luck Bob, including back, neck, and shoulder sprains/strains. Distracted Daisy received a ticket for violating Connecticut General Statutes Sec. 14-240 for following Bad Luck Bob more closely than is reasonable and prudent having regard for the speed of such vehicle, the traffic upon and the condition of the highway. Both Bad Luck Bob and Distracted Daisy are from Middletown, CT. The Complaint will be filed in the Judicial District of Middletown at the Middlesex Superior Court. Bad Luck Bob hired the law firm Barry, Best and McGuire located at 1 Main Street, Middletown, CT 06457. The firm's Juris Number is 12345, telephone number is 860-123-4567, fax number is 860-123- 4568, and email is bbjlawfirm.net. The return date of the case is February 26, 2019, and Attorney Betty Best will sign the Complaint on January 15 2019. Distracted Daisy's legal name is Daisy Dunn, and Bad Luck Bob's legal name is Robert Robot. Side Note: You probably have not heard of a Return Date. We use a Return Date in Connecticut as a triggering date to determine deadlines such as completion of service, filing a Complaint, the defendant's filing an Appearance form and the first responsive pleading. I know this sounds confusing but I have selected the return date and will guide you through this process. Template: You are to use the following two Caption templates along with the title of the complaint. Do your best to follow the spacing of the Caption. The word Complaint should be centered on your document.
