Trial Court Reaffirms that Plaintiffs May Plead Recklessness With Reckless Abandon



In the case of Kafley v. Breneiser, No. 24-CV-3508 (C.P. Lacka. Co. April 24, 2025 Gibbons, J.), the court overruled Preliminary Objections filed by the Defendant to claims of recklessness asserted in a rear-end motor vehicle accident case.

In this decision, President Judge James A. Gibbons of the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas confirmed the current status of the law that allows Plaintiffs to plead recklessness in any given case so long as allegations of negligence are likewise asserted. 

In this regard, the court relied upon the Pennsylvania Superior Court decision of Monroe v. CBH2O, LP, 286 A.3d 785, 799 (Pa. Super. 2022).
