Preliminary Objections to Allegations of Recklessness Overruled in Montgomery County

In the case of Patton v. Greco, No. 2021-CV-14422 (C.P. Montg. Co. March 16, 2022 Haaz, J.), in an Order only, the court overruled a Defendant’s Preliminary Objections to allegations of recklessness and claims for punitive damages in a personal injury matter.

The court noted that, after discovery has been completed, the Defendants may again challenge whether the facts gathered n discovery supported claims for recklessness and punitive damages.
