averred to be in the possession of the defendant.
3. On or about June ll, 1996, while said policy of
insurance was in full force and effect, Plaintiffs suffered
direct physical loss to the insured premises and to the personal
property therein.
4. Notice of this covered loss was given to Defendant in a
prompt and timely manner and Plaintiffs have done and otherwise
performed all things required under the policy.
5. Defendant, despite demand for benefits under its policy
of insurance, has failed and refused to pay to Plaintiffs those
benefits due and owing under said policy of insurance.
6. Defendant, Nationwide Insurance Company, has breached
its contractual obligations to pay benefits to Plaintiffs for a
loss covered under Defendant's policy of insurance.
7. Solely as a result of Defendant's failure and refusal
to pay benefits to Plaintiffs as required under the aforesaid
policy of insurance, Plaintiffs have suffered loss and damage to
their property, forcing them to incur the expense to repair and
replace the damaged property.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs demand judgment against Defendant for
compensatory damages, costs of suit, and such other relief as the
Court may deem equitable and just.
SECOND COUNT
B. Plaintiffs repeat and reallege each and every
t:'''l W.llt ..."....I......"I'l."'UU"AlH 1
allegation of the First Count as if stated herein at length.
9. The above named breach of contract is a result of
Defendant, Nationwide Insurance Company's, reckless disregard for
the rights of the Plaintiffs and breach of its duty of good faith
and fair dealing to the Plaintiff in processing their homeowner
claim.
10. As a result of Defendant's bad faith misconduct,
Plaintiffs have incurred losses and expenses, including but not
limited to any and all expenses incurred by the Plaintiffs as a
result of filing this litigation, including attorney's fees.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs demand judgment against Defendant for
punitive damages plus all damages stemming from Defendant's
negligence; for cost and interest of suit; for attorney's fees;
and for such other relief as the Court may deem equitable and
just.
THIRD COUNT
11. Plaintiffs repeat and reallege each and every
allegation of the First and Second Counts as if set forth herein
at length.
12. When the Plaintiffs were purchasing an insurance policy
for their home, they decided on the policy that was offered to
them from Defendant, Nationwide Insurance Company. As part of
their agreement, Plaintiffs provided them with all necessary and
pertinent information requested by Defendant.
t: ''&1..vc.:Lll.HlWil.u.aI4lIl.N'IIt.l'SAIN ,
13. When Plaintiffs purchased their homeowners insurance,
they relied upon Defendant's representation that they would be
insured for various losses, including but not limited to the
specific losses that were suffered on June 11, 1996.
14. As a result of their reliance upon Defendant's
representation, Plaintiffs have suffered a loss in which
Plaintiffs allegedly do not have homeowner's insurance to cover
the June ll, 1996 1055, and therefore, will be required to expend
sums of money for these damages.
15. Defendant failed to inform Plaintiffs that there was a
possibility that insurance coverage for their loss would be
denied prior to June 11, 1996.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs, George Stambaugh and Shirley
Stambaugh D/B/A Stambaugh Farms, demand judgment against
Defendant, Nationwide Insurance Company, for:
(a) Relief from the out of pocket expense Plaintiffs
have had to pay as a result of their reliance of Defendant's
representation;

faith conduct, demands punitive damages against Defendant
Nationwide.
12. Under Pennsylvania law, punitive damages may only be
sought where there is "outrageous" conduct by the Defendant.
Kirkbride v. Lisbon Contractors. Inc., 521 Pa. 103, 555 A.2d 800
(1989) .
13. A pleading which seeks punitive damages must aver
specific facts indicating that the Defendant acted outrageously and
that such conduct evidenced reckless indifference to the
Plaintiffs. Field v. Philadelohia Electric Co., 388 Pa.Super. 400,
565 A.2d 1170 (1989).
14. Plaintiffs' Complaint fails to aver any facts to
support a claim for punitive damages.
WHEREFORE, Nationwide respectively requests this
Honorable Court to dismiss Count II of Plaintiffs' Complaint or, in
the alternative, strike Plaintiffs' demand for punitive damages,
with prejudice.
MOTION TO FILE MORE SPECIFIC PLEADING
COUNT III
15. Count II of Plaintiffs' Complaint avers that
Nationwide acted in bad faith.
16. Count II of Plaintiffs' Complaint fails to set forth
-3-

I.
any facts to support such a legal conclusion as required pursuant
to Pa.R.C.P. 1019. International Union v. Watkins, 417 Pa. 120,
207 A.2d 776 (1965); Foster v. Peat Marwick Main and Co., 587 A.2d
382 (Cmwlth.Ct. 1991).
WHEREFORE, Nationwide respectfully requests this
Honorable Court to order Plaintiff to file a more specific pleading
or, in the alternative, dismiss Count II of Plaintiffs' Complaint
with prejudice.
COUNT IV
17. Count III of Plaintiffs' Complaint apparently avers
a cause of action for fraudulent misrepresentation.
18. If Count III of Plaintiffs' Complaint avers some
other cause of action, Nationwide is unable to comprehend the
nature of that action and is therefore unable to respond
appropriately.
19. Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1019(b), averments of fraud
must be made with specificity as to how a defendant has acted
fraudulently. Muhammad v. Strassburqer, 526 Pa. 541, 587 A.2d 1346
(1991); Mordv v. Reichlev, 7 D. & C. 2d 80 (C.P. Adams 1956).
20. Count III of Plaintiffs' Complaint fails to allege
any material facts "with particularity" as required pursuant to
Pa.R.C.P. 1019(b).
