9. Defendant, CHAPP, INC., is vicariously liable for the negligence of Defendant,
CYNTHIA M. FOERSTER, pursuant to the Florida Dangerous Instrumentality Doctrine.
10. As a direct and proximate result of Defendants’ negligence, Plaintiff suffered bodily
injury including a permanent injury to the body as a whole, pain and suffering of both a physical
and mental nature, disability, physical impairment, disfigurement, mental anguish, inconvenience,
loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life, aggravation of an existing condition, expense of
hospitalization, medical and nursing care and treatment, loss of earnings, loss of ability to earn
money and loss of ability to lead and enjoy a normal life. The losses are either permanent or
continuing and Plaintiff will suffer the losses in the future. Plaintiff's motor vehicle was also

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, XIAO SHENG YUE, demands judgment for damages against
Defendants, CYNTHIA M. FOERSTER and CHAPP, INC., and other such relief deemed proper by
the Court. Plaintiff also demands a jury trial on all issues so triable.
