New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company has filed a lawsuit seeking compensation for damages following a motor vehicle accident involving their insured clients. The complaint was lodged in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas on February 28, 2025, against defendants Haja M. Koroma and Haja Z. Koroma.
The case stems from an incident that occurred on May 11, 2024, when a vehicle owned by Haja M. Koroma and operated by Haja Z. Koroma collided with a car insured by New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company (NJM), driven by Zonia and Farrell Smith. The collision took place at Beverly Avenue and Baltimore Avenue in E. Lansdowne, Pennsylvania. NJM alleges that the accident resulted from the defendants' negligence and carelessness, citing failures such as not maintaining a proper lookout, failing to yield the right of way, not keeping an assured clear distance, disobeying traffic rules, speeding under the circumstances, improper brake application, loss of vehicle control, and negligent entrustment of the vehicle to an incompetent driver.
According to NJM's claims, these actions led to significant property damage amounting to $12,069.59 and rental expenses totaling $1,200 incurred by their insured clients. NJM argues that they were obligated to cover these costs under their insurance contract with the Smiths and are now seeking subrogation against both defendants for the total amount of $13,269.59 plus interest and legal costs.
In this legal pursuit for compensation through subrogation—a process allowing insurers to pursue third parties responsible for losses—the plaintiff is represented by attorney Douglas G. Aaron from Aaron & Prince law firm based in Philadelphia. The complaint outlines that both defendants were acting in an agency relationship at all relevant times during the incident.
As part of their legal strategy, NJM is demanding joint and several liability from both Haja M. Koroma and Haja Z. Koroma for the claimed damages alongside any accruing interest or associated court costs resulting from this litigation process.
