On May 27th 2004, young Miss Michiko Bahadur, then a high school

L-> student, was injured in a motor vehicle crash. She was, at the time, a

passenger in the lit Defendant's vehicle, which was being driven by the 2nd

Defendant. She suffered lacerations to her scalp and ear, a fracture of her

left clavicle and a fracture of her pelvis. A judgment was entered against the

Defendants, since they filed no acknowledgement of service of the Claim

Form. Damages now fall to be assessed.
