PETITION TO APPROVE COMPROMISE SETTLEMENT
AND DISTRIBUTION OF PROCEEDS
AND NOW, come the Petitioners, JENNIFER A. LANE and JOHN LANE,
husband and wife, as parents and natural guardians of MADISON C. LANE, a
minor, by and through their attorneys, Shollenberger and Januzzi, LLP, and do
respectfully represent the following:
1. The minor, Madison C. Lane, was born on November 27, 1993, and
currently resides with her parents, the Petitioners herein, at 540 Mumper Lane,
Dillsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17019.
2. The Respondent herein is Anne Straight Agnew, whose last known
address was 14 South Madder Drive, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055.
3. On or about November 13, 1998, Madison C. Lane was injured as a
result of an automobile collision which occurred on Interstate 81 in South
Middleton Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
4. As a result of the collision, Madison was ejected from the vehicle
and sustained multiple abrasions and contusions, as well as a subsequent post-
traumatic stress disorder.
5. The Petitioners, on behalf of Madison, have incurred various
medical bills for the treatment rendered to Madison, all of which have been paid
in full, with no outstanding liens. Approximately $500.00 of a $1,000,000.00 first
party personal injury protection benefit has been used to date.
6. Following the crash, Madison was evaluated twice for the post-
traumatic stress disorder; however, as of December 2006, she has resumed
treatment with Kenneth G. Small, Ph.D. A copy of Dr. Small's December 18,
2006, office note is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
7. The Respondent, through her insurer, Erie Insurance Company,
has offered to settle this claim for the sum of $10,000.00 in exchange for a
Release of All Claims. A copy of the proposed Release is attached hereto as
Exhibit "B."
8. The Petitioners believe this offer of settlement is fair and
reasonable.
9. The Petitioners have retained the services of the law firm of
Shollenberger & Januzzi, LLP, to represent them and have agreed to pay a
twenty percent (20%) contingent fee to said attorneys, a reduction of 5% from the
originally agreed upon fee. A copy of the contingent fee agreement between the
Petitioners and their counsel is attached hereto, incorporated by reference herein
and marked as Exhibit "C."
10. The Petitioners have further agreed to pay out of their share of the
recovery the following costs incurred or advanced on behalf of Madison:
A. Medical records: $40.00
B. Court reporting fees: $88.25
C. Owl Investigation fees: $1,250.00
D. Arbitration fee: $15.00
E. Dr. Small's nonrefundable testimony fee: $1,750.00
The amount of reimbursement for the above costs that were incurred and
advanced on Petitioners' behalf total $3,143.25.
11. The Petitioners request the court approve the compromised
settlement in order to distribute the proceeds as follows:
Shollenberger & Januzzi, LLP
(reimbursement of costs advanced) $3,143.25
Attorney's fees (20%):
Shollenberger & Januzzi, LLP 1,333.33
Michael Cherewka, Esq. (1/3 referral fee) 666.66
Madison Lane, by Jennifer A. Lane and
John Lane, her parents and natural guardians 4,856.76
12. The Petitioners request that the funds be distributed for the benefit
of the minor, Madison C. Lane, be deposited in one or more savings accounts in
the name of Madison C. Lane, in banks, building and loan associations or
savings and loan associations, deposits in which are insured by a federal
governmental agency, provided that the amount deposited in any one savings
institution should not exceed the amount to which accounts are thus insured.
13. The Petitioners request that, upon approval of the proposed
compromised settlement and receipt of the proceeds thereof, they be authorized
to execute a good and sufficient release of any further liability and to discontinue
the above action against the Respondent named herein.
WHEREFORE, the Petitioners, Jennifer A. Lane and John Lane, on behalf
of Madison C. Lane, a minor, request this Honorable Court to approve the
Compromise Settlement and Distribution of Proceeds or, in the alternative,
schedule a hearing.

TREATMENT RECD D
12-18-2006 Patient seen for individual treatment after I first met briefly with Madison and her father
Mr. Lane is initiating treatment in my office with concerns about how Madison is coping with a
scheduled mediation hearing in January for the traumatic motor vehicle accident that Madison
experienced in November of 1998. 1 had evaluated Madison in September of 2004 as part of the
motor vehicle litigation. Madison is now 13 years old and in the 7"' grade at Northern Middle School.
According to Mr. Lane, he became particularly concerned about Madison after reading a news story
about a similar aged male peer who had committed suicide in response to poor school performance.
The father noted that Madison does not seem to care about her grades which have dropped during
the last marking period. He indicated that she is also chronically late in the morning. In meeting with
Madison individually, she presented as a well-groomed Caucasian female her stated age. She has
obviously matured tremendously since two years ago. I found her to be more verbally articulate and
spontaneous. She, again, became teary-eyed and cried while discussing specific recollections of her
traumatic motor vehicle accident in 1998. She noted that she can still become teary-eyed when
looking at pictures of the family van that was involved in the accident. She described that she still
becomes anxious and reacts with a startle response whenever certain vehicles approach their car
rapidly. Madison expressed the belief that her spontaneous recollections of the accident have slowly
decreased over the past two years. When I provided Madison with information she had provided me
regarding the accident during her evaluation with me in September of 2004, Madison expressed that
she no longer recollects those circumstances. She explained that she does care about her grades,
but that her grades were lower than her capabilities during the first report card because she missed
nearly two week of school because of illness, a broken ankle from a sports injury, and a one-week
vacation. She attributed her lower grades specifically to not handing in several homework
assignments- Madison noted that she is late in the morning because she is having trouble waking up
and stays in the shower in order to wake up. According to Madison, she stays up late on some
evenings because she has combined basketball practice and soccer practice. She enthusiastically
discussed her sports activities with me. In reviewing how the patient kept on time the previous school
year, she identified that she used a radio to pace herself, but that she has not used a radio this
school year because she is concerned about waking up her 2 year old sister. Madison spoke
positively of her 2 year old sister. She acknowledged that she does feel anxious about the mediation
hearing in January. She spoke disparagingly of the independent psychological evaluation that she
underwent. We discussed the patient's perceptions on how much the traumatic car accident still
affects her, and she expressed that she still has some unresolved emotions about it given her
tearfulness. She indicated that she becomes distraught when her parentsihow anger rarding the
