STAUFFER and AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, Defendants PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS OF DEFENDANT AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT AND NOW, comes Defendant, American International Group (AIG), by and through its attorneys, Thomas, Thomas & Hafer, LLP, and brings the following Preliminary Objections to Plaintiff's Complaint: 1. This is a civil action that arises in part from a motor vehicle accident that occurred on June 24, 1998, and in part from allegations of contract breach on the part of AIG. 2. At the time of the accident, Mrs. Parish maintains that her automobile was insured by AIG and that the AIG policy is applicable to the accident. The Plaintiff further claims that AIG improperly denied coverage for the accident. 3. Mrs. Parish claims that the June 24, 1998 accident was caused by the negligence of Lydia D. Stauffer and that she sustained personal injuries in the accident. MOTION TO STRIKE 4. Instead of bringing separate actions against AIG for breach of contract and Lydia Stauffer for negligence, Mrs. Parish elected to bring both claims in a single civil action. " ;.' ~"-"'_' ,'""~_;-,;,c"",,,-,"_,,,,--:, /,,~ L"., ".,," ,~,~",,;_',;c_,:- "'~';;_'L '" ' 5. The Plaintiff has improperly joined their negligence/personal injury claim with a breach of contractlbad faith claim against AIG. 6. The issues as to each Defendant are such that they could not be tried in a single civil action. Evidentiary restrictions on the introduction of evidence of insurance prohibits this case from being tried as a single action and, furthermore, the issues, facts and proofs necessary to sustain the separate claims against the two Defendants are essentially unrelated. 7. Because the Plaintiff has mis-joined negligence/personal injury and breach of contract/bad faith claims in a single cause of action, the claims against AIG should be stricken. WHEREFORE, Defendant AIG respectfully requests that the Court strike the allegations pleaded against it and dismiss the matter as to AIG.
