"Defendants deny each and every allegation of the Complaint herein, and particularly deny that Plaintiff sustained damages in the sum alleged, or in any sum at all. Defendants further deny that Plaintiff sustained any damages, either as alleged in said Complaint or otherwise, by reason of any negligence, recklessness or carelessness, or any acts or omissions of these answering Defendants," the documents read.
