A Blair County judge has thrown out a lawsuit that was filed against a methadone clinic, after the plaintiff alleged that a car crash in which he was involved was the fault of the clinic. According to the plaintiff a patient that caused a collision in which he was injured was involved in the crash because of the medication she was receiving at the clinic.
Crystal Ickes caused the head on collision in August 2004, and as a result of the accident she was killed. The plaintiff in the case suffered a head injury as a result of the crash. Ickes ploughed into Matthew Stever’s vehicle after leaving the clinic.
Stever initially filed a lawsuit against the psychiatrist of the deceased, claiming that the medication that she was taking had resulted in the accident in which he had been injured. However, the case had been dismissed by a judge.
Stever then filed a lawsuit against the operators of the methadone clinic in Johnstown, Alliance Medical Services Incorporated. However, Judge Elizabeth Doyle threw the case out, stating that the clinic could not be held responsible for the accident. Topic Added December 20th, 2006
