Bernstein of the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas granted an unopposed motion to amend a Complaint filed by a plaintiff in the case of Simmons v. Lantry to add punitive damages claims in a case involving a tractor trailer driver who was allegedly distracted by his cell phone use at the time of an accident.
