DANIEL GEYER AND
CYNTHIA GEYER,
Defendants
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT
The Plaintiff, Pennsylvania National Mutual Casualty Insurance Company ("Penn
National"), by its attorneys, Thomas, Thomas & Hafer, LLP, files this Complaint against
the Defendants.
1. Penn National is an insurance company organized and existing under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with its principal place of business at
2 North Second Street, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
2. The Defendant, Daniel Geyer ("Mr. Geyer"), is an adult individual who, on
information and belief, resides at 29 Gutshall Road, Shippensburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
3
3. Defendant Cynthia Geyer ("Mrs. Geyer"), is an adult individual who, on
information and belief, resides at 29 Gutshall Road, Shippensburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
4. This action for declaratory judgment is brought by Penn National pursuant
to 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7532.
5. This action for declaratory judgment is instituted by Penn National to
determine its rights and responsibilities under an insurance policy issued by it to the
Defendants.
6. Penn National issued automobile Policy No. 129 0013168 (the "Policy") to
Defendants which was in effect from July 14, 2006, to January 14, 2007. A true and
correct copy of the Policy is attached hereto as "Exhibit A."
7. A controversy exists between the parties concerning their respective rights
and liabilities under the Policy.
8. The Geyers have made an underinsured motorist ("UIM") claim under the
Policy.
9. The Geyers claim arises out of injuries sustained by Mr. Geyer on July 30,
2006, while in the parking lot of the Dollar General store in Shippensburg, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania.
10. On July 30, 2006, Mr. Geyer and Mrs. Geyer drove to the Dollar General
store, riding on a 1987 Suzuki Intruder (the "motorcycle") they owned.
11. The motorcycle is not listed as an insured vehicle on the Policy in question
but rather was insured under a policy issued to Geyer by Progressive Northern
Insurance Co., for which Mr. Geyer had rejected UIM coverage.
4
12. Upon arriving at the Dollar General store, Mr. Geyer, who was driving the
motorcycle, stopped the vehicle in the parking lot in front of the Dollar General store,
leaving the keys in the ignition.
13. Mrs. Geyer dismounted the motorcycle and entered the Dollar General
store to buy several items.
14. While Mrs. Geyer was in the Dollar General store, Mr. Geyer waited by the
motorcycle for her to return.
15. A short time later, Mrs. Geyer exited the Dollar General store and rejoined
her husband at the motorcycle.
16. Upon arriving back at the motorcycle, Mrs. Geyer began to put her
purchases in the motorcycle's saddlebags.
17. As she was doing this, Mr. Geyer was standing next to the motorcycle,
wearing his helmet, waiting for her to complete the storing of her purchases so that they
could continue their trip on the motorcycle.
18. At that time, a vehicle driven by Amanda Breon backed out of a parking
space, struck Mr. Geyer and knocked him down.
19. As a result of the injuries suffered in this accident, Geyer has filed a claim
for UIM benefits under the Policy.
20. A dispute exists between the parties as to whether Defendant Geyer is
entitled to coverage under the UIM provisions of the Policy with respect to the claim
arising out of the July 30, 2006, accident.
21. Penn National avers that coverage does not exist under the UIM
provisions of the Policy for the claim submitted by Defendant Geyer.
5
22. Penn National has investigated Defendant Geyer's claim subject to
reservations of rights as set forth in the letter attached hereto as "Exhibit B."
23. The Policy provides that, under certain conditions, compensatory
damages will be paid to "an insured" who is legally entitled to recover from the owner or
operator of an "underinsured motor vehicle" because of "bodily injury."
24. The Policy excludes UIM coverage for bodily injury sustained when "an
insured" is "occupying" a vehicle owned by an insured that is not insured under the
Policy.
25. The Policy defines "occupying" as meaning "in, upon, getting in, on, out or
off."
26. Under the Policy and applicable law, Mr. Geyer was "occupying" the
motorcycle at the time of the accident.
27. The motorcycle ridden by the Geyers on July 30, 2006, is not insured
under the Policy.
28. As such, at the time of the accident, Geyer was occupying a vehicle he
owned which was not insured under the Policy and, therefore, coverage does not exist
under the Policy for Geyer's claim.
6
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Pennsylvania National Mutual Casualty Insurance
Company, respectfully requests the Court to enter judgment in this favor and issue a
declaratory judgment that Defendants Daniel and Cynthia Geyer are not entitled to
coverage under the Penn National Insurance Company Policy with respect to the claim
submitted, together with such other relief as the Court may deem appropriate.
Respectfy"bmitted,

OTHER INSURANCE
If there is other applicable insurance available
under more than one policy or provision of
coverage that is similar to the insurance provided
under this endorsement
The following priorities of recovery apply.
First The Uninsured Motorists Coverage
applicable to the vehicle the
"insured" was "occupying" at the
time of the accident
Second The policy affording Uninsured
Motorists Coverage to the
"insured" as a named insured or
family member.
If two or more policies have equal priority, the
insurer against whom the claim is first made shall
process and pay the claim as if wholly responsible
for all insurers with equal priority. The insurer is
thereafter entitled to recover contribution pro rata
from any other insurer for the benefits paid and the
costs of processing the claim.
If we are the insurer against whom the claim is first
made, we will pay, subject to the limit of liability
shown in the Schedule or in the Declarations for
Uninsured Motorists Coverage, after we and all
other contributing insurers agree:
1. Whether the "insured" is legally entitled to
recover damages from the owner or
operator of an "uninsured motor vehicle";
and
2. As to the amount of damages.
ARBITRATION
A. If we and an "insured" do not agree:
1. Whether that "insured" is legally entitled to
recover damages, or
2. As to the amount of the damages which are
recoverable by that "insured";
from the owner or operator of an "uninsured
motor vehicle" then the matter may be
arbitrated However, disputes concerning
coverage under this endorsement may not be
arbitrated.
Either party may make a written demand for
arbitration. Arbitration shall be conducted in
accordance with the provisions of the Uniform
Arbitration Act of 1927. Each party will select
an arbitrator. The two arbitrators will select a
third. If they cannot agree within 30 days, either
may request that selection be made by a judge
of a court having jurisdiction.
B. Each party will:
1. Pay the expenses it incurs; and
2. Bear the expenses of the third arbitrator
equally.
C. Unless both parties agree otherwise, arbitration
will take place in the county in which the
"insured" lives at the time of the accident Local
rules of laws as to procedure and evidence will
apply. A decision agreed to by two of the
arbitrators will be binding.
11. PART F - GENERAL PROVISIONS
The following is added to the Two Or More
Auto Policies Provision of Part F:
TWO OR MORE AUTO POLICIES
1. This provision does not apply to
Uninsured Motorists Coverage.

ARBITRATION
A. If we and an "insured" do not agree:
1. Whether that "insured" is legally entitled to
recover damages; or
2. As to the amount of damages which. are re-
coverable by that "insured";
from the owner or operator of an "uninsured motor
vehicle", then the matter may be arbitrated. How-
ever, disputes conceming coverage . under this
Part may not be arbitrated,
Both parties must agree to arbitration. If so
agreed, each party will select an arbitrator. The
two arbitrators will select a third. If they cannot
agree within 30 days, either may request that se-
lection be made by a judge of a court having ju-
risdiction.
B. Each parry will:
1. Pay the expenses it incurs; and
2. Bear the expenses of the third arbitrator
equally.
C. Unless both parties agree otherwise, arbitration
will take place in the county in which the "insured"
lives. Local rules of law as to procedure and evi-
dence will apply. A decision agreed to by two of
the arbitrators will be binding as to:
1. Whether the "insured" is legally entitled to
recover damages; and
2. The amount of damages. This applies only If
the amount does not exceed the minimum limit
for bodily injury liability specified by the finan-
cial responsibility law of the state in which
your covered auto is principally garaged. If
the amount exceeds that limit, either party may
demand the right to a trial. This demand must
be made within 60 days of the arbitrators' de-
cision. If this demand is not made, the amount
of damages agreed to by the arbitrators will be
binding.

Point and Surcharge Calculation
The Number of points assigned determines the surcharge. The following shows the surcharge as a percentage
increase of the base premium.
Percentage Increase
of the Base Premium
SDIP One Multi*
Factor Car Car
0 Points - .10 - 10% - 30%
1 Point + 40 + 40% - 5%
2 Points + 90 + 90% + 25%
3 Points + 1.50 +150% + 55%
4 Points +2.20 +220% + 90%
*WITH TWO CARS THIS SURCHARGE APPLIES TO EACH CAR. IF THERE ARE MORE CARS IT
APPLIES TO THE TWO CARS WITH THE HIGHEST PREMIUM. USUALLY THESE ARE THE HIGHEST
VALUED CARS.
These percentage surcharges are illustrative of the effect on the base premium only. While the base premium is
different depending upon rating territory, the base premium does not vary for other considerations such as your
age, sex or marital status. Therefore, the dollars of surcharge will be the same for all drivers with equivalent when compared to premium, which does recognize among other things your age, sex and maritastatus could vary somewhat from
the above cited percentages.
You may be able to determine the points assigned to you by looking at your policy. The front page information
may include a six digit code such as 8871-10. The last digit shows the points. The zero indicates no points in this
case.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PENNSYLVANIA POLICYHOLDERS
COVERAGE FOR RENTAL VEHICLES
THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT PROVIDE COVERAGE, AND IT DOES NOT REPLACE ANY PROVISIONS IN YOUR
POLICY. READ YOUR POLICY AND THE "DECLARATIONS PAGE" FOR COMPLETE COVERAGE INFORMATION.
IF ANYTHING IN THIS DOCUMENT CONFLICTS WITH YOUR POLICY, THE PROVISIONS OF THE POLICY
PREVAIL
IF YOUR POLICY DOES NOT PROVIDE COLLISION COVERAGE, YOU DO NOT HAVE COVERAGE
FOR DAMAGE TO A RENTAL VEHICLE.
MOST RENTAL CAR COMPANIES OFFER "COLLISION DAMAGE WAVER" INSURANCE WHEN YOU RENT A
CAR. MANY INSUREDS ARE UNSURE IF THEY SHOULD PURCHASE THE COVERAGE FROM THE RENTAL CAR
COMPANY OR IF DAMAGE TO THEIR RENTAL CAR WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE COLLISION PORTION
OF THEIR AUTO INSURANCE POLICY.
COLLISION MEANS THE UPSET OF YOUR COVERED AUTO OR ITS IMPACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE OR
OBJECT. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE FALLING OBJECTS, FIRE, THEFT, WINDSTORM, VANDALISM, HAIL, WATER
OR FLOOD.
OUR POLICYHOLDERS NORMALLY RENT CARS UNDER TWO CIRCUMSTANCES - THEY ARE ON VACATION
OR, THEY RENT A CAR AS A TEMPORARY SUBSTITUTE WHILE THEIR CAR IS OUT OF SERVICE
IF YOU RENT A CAR WHILE YOU ARE ON VACATION OR IF YOU RENT A CAR WHILE YOUR
CAR 1S OUT OF SERVICE.
IF YOUR POLICY PROVIDES COLLISION INSURANCE ON AT LEAST ONE CAR, AS LONG AS THAT COVERAGE
REMAINS IN EFFECT, YOUR POLICY WOULD PROVIDE COLLISION INSURANCE EQUAL TO THE BROADEST
COLLISION INSURANCE PROVIDED ON A CAR ON YOUR POLICY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAVE THREE CARS
COVERED FOR COLLISION INSURANCE, TWO WITH $250 DEDUCTIBLE AND ONE WITH A $200
DEDUCTIBLE, THE $200 DEDUCTIBLE WOULD APPLY TOWARD THE RENTAL CAR
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR AGENT IF YOU NEED TO RENT A CAR UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES OTHER THAN
THOSE OUTLINED ABOVE OR, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

Claim No: 02757652
Insured: Daniel & Cynthia Geyer
Policy No: 1290013168
Claimant: Daniel Geyer
Date of Loss: July 30, 2006
Dear Mr. Foster:
Penn National Insurance acknowledges receipt of the above referenced claim. On or about
August 8, 2006 Penn National Insurance received notice of this matter from J P Fogelsanger
Insurance by way of a submitted loss notice. Your letter of representation was received by
Melissa Adkins, the medical payments adjuster, on or about August 23, 2006; and on or about
October 9, 2006 we spoke by phone regarding a potential underinsured motorist claim. As of
this date, the information and/or documents in our possession concerning this matter consist of
the following: Acord loss notice, a certified copy of the Geyer's personal automobile policy
1290013168 effective 07/14/2006 - 01/14/2007, a copy of Shippensburg Borough police report
SP-2006-3793, and correspondence between your office and Penn National Insurance.
Based upon the foregoing, Penn National Insurance understands that this matter involves an
underinsured motorist claim filed by Daniel Geyer against the personal automobile policy of
Daniel and Cynthia Geyer. The claim arises out of injuries sustained by Mr. Geyer on July 30,
2006 while in the parking lot of the Dollar General Store in Shippensburg, PA. It is our
understanding that Mr. Geyer was struck by a vehicle backing out of a parking space.
We understand that Daniel Geyer is submitting this claim for coverage under the personal
automobile policy issued by Perm National Insurance pursuant to Policy No. 1290013168 for the
Policy Period of July 14, 2006 - January 14, 2007. In view of the foregoing, Penn National
Insurance will afford coverage and provide a defense for this claim pursuant to the subject
general liability policy; however, it does so subject to a reservation of rights under the following
policy provisions.
PERSONAL AUTO POLICY
AGREEMENT
In return for payment of the premium and subject to all the terms of this policy, we agree with
you as follows:
DEFINITIONS
A. Throughout this policy, "you" and "your" refer to:
1. The "named insured" shown in the Declarations; and
2. The spouse if a resident of the same household.
If the spouse ceases to be a resident of the same household during the policy period or
prior to the inception of this policy, the spouse will be considered "you" and "your" under
this policy but only until the earlier of:
1. The end of 90 days following the spouse's change of residency;
2. The effective date of another policy listing the spouse as a named insured; or
3. The end of the policy period.
B. "We", "us" and "our" refer to the Company providing this insurance.
D. "Bodily injury" means bodily harm, sickness or disease, including death that results.
F. "Family member" means a person related to you by blood, marriage or adoption who is a
resident of your household. This includes a ward or foster child.
G. "Occupying" means in, upon, getting in, on, out or off.
This policy is endorsed with Form 70-3131 (rev. 08/02), UNDERINSURED MOTORISTS
COVERAGE - PENNSYLVANIA (STACKED), which reads in part as follows:
With respect to the coverage provided by this endorsement, the provisions of the policy apply
unless modified by endorsement.
INSURING AGREEMENT
A. We will pay compensatory damages which an "insured" is legally entitled to recover from
the owner or operator of an "underinsured motor vehicle" because of "bodily injury":
1. Sustained by an "insured"; and
2. Caused by an accident.
The owner's or operator's liability for these damages must arise of the ownership must
arise out of the ownership, maintenance or use of the "underinsured motor vehicle".
We will pay under this coverage only if 1. or 2. below applies:
1. The limits of liability under any bodily injury liability bonds or policies applicable to
the "underinsured motor vehicle" have been exhausted by payment of judgments or
settlements; or
2. A tentative settlement has been made between an "insured" and the insurer of the
"underinsured motor vehicle" and we:
a. Have been given prompt written notice of such tentative settlement, and
b. Advance payment to the "insured" in an amount equal to the tentative
settlement within 30 days after receipt of notification.
No judgment for damages arising out of a suit brought against the owner or operator of an
"underinsured motor vehicle" is biding on us unless we:
1. Received reasonable notice of the pendency of the suit resulting in the judgment; and
2. Had a reasonable opportunity to protect our interests in the suit.
B. "Insured" as used in this endorsement means:
1. You or any "family member".
2. Any other person "occupying" "your covered auto".
3. Any person for damages that person is entitled to recover because of "bodily injury"
to which this coverage applies sustained by a person described in 1. or 2. above.
C. "Underinsured motor vehicle" means a land motor vehicle or trailer of any type to which
a bodily injury liability bond or policy applies at the time of the accident but the amount
paid for "bodily injury" under that bond or policy to an "insured" is not enough to pay the
full amount the "insured" is legally entitled to recover as damages.
However, "underinsured motor vehicle" does not include any vehicle or equipment:
1. For which liability is coverage is provided under Part A. of this policy
2. Operated on rails or crawler treads.
3. Designed mainly for use off public roads while not on public road.
4. While located for use as a residence or premises.
EXCLUSIONS
A. We do not provide Underinsured Motorists Coverage for "bodily injury" sustained:
1. By you while "occupying", or when struck by, any motor vehicle you own which is not
insured for this coverage under this policy. This includes a trailer of any type used with
that vehicle.
2. By a "family member":
a. Who owns an auto, while "occupying", or when struck by, any motor vehicle
owned by your or any "family member" which is not insured for this coverage
under this policy. This includes a trailer of any type used with that vehicle.
b. Who does not own an auto, while "occupying", or when struck by, any motor
vehicle you own which is insured for this coverage on a primary basis under any
other policy.
OTHER INSURANCE
If there is other applicable insurance available under more than one policy or provision of
coverage that is similar to the insurance provided by this endorsement:
The following priorities of recovery apply:
First The Underinsured Motorists Coverage applicable to the vehicle the
"insured" was "occupying" at the time of the accident.
Second The policy affording Underinsured Motorists Coverage to the
"insured" as a named insured or family member.
If two or more policies have equal priority, the insurer against whom the claim is first made shall
process and pay the claim as if wholly responsible for all insurers with equal priority. The
insurer is thereafter entitled to recover contribution pro rata from any other insurer for the
benefits paid and the costs of processing the claim.
If we are the insurer against whom the claim is first made, we will pay, subject to the limit of
liability shown in the Schedule or in the Declarations for Underinsured Motors Coverage, after
we and all other contributing insurers agree:
1. Whether the "insured" is legally entitled to recover damages from the owner or
operator of an "underinsured motor vehicle"; and
2. As to the amount of damages.
We are reserving our right to deny coverage based on the policy language listed earlier in this
letter. Legitimate issues exist as to whether coverage is provided under this policy as the
Shippensburg Borough police report SP-2006-3793 indicates that Mr. Geyer was standing next
to his motor cycle in a parking stall when he was struck by a vehicle. There is no motorcycle
scheduled under the Geyer's personal automobile policy 1290013168, effective 07/14/2006
through 01/14/2007. This policy excludes underinsured motorist coverage for bodily injury
sustained when occupying a vehicle that is not insured on the policy. Further this policy defines
occupying as in, upon, getting in, on, out or off. As there is potential that Mr. Geyer was
occupying a vehicle not insured under this policy, there is potential that underinsured motorist
coverage may be excluded for this loss.
As mentioned immediately above, issues exist as to whether the subject policy affords coverage
for underinsured motorist coverage. Penn National hereby reserves any and all of its rights to
modify or amend its coverage position and assert any defenses and disclaimers based upon any
of the policy provisions, definitions, conditions or exclusions, whether or not specifically
mentioned herein.
Please be advised that Penn National Insurance reserves any and all of its rights under any of the
provisions, definitions, conditions or exclusions contained in any insurance policy issued by
Penn National Insurance to Daniel and Cynthia Geyer. Furthermore, upon the discovery of any
other facts or issues relating to coverage of this matter, Penn National reserves its rights to
modify or amend its coverage position and assert any defenses based upon any of the policy
provisions, definitions, conditions or exclusions, whether or not specifically mentioned herein.
Please be advised that this is not a denial of coverage, but rather to inform Daniel and Cynthia
Geyer, and their attorney David Foster, of potential coverage issues. Any actions taken by Penn
National Insurance in the investigation of this matter, or in negotiating for a compromise
settlement, or in making any settlement, or in defending this claim, or in any other way acting or
failing to act, shall not constitute an admission of liability or an admission of coverage.
Furthermore, any actions taken by Penn National Insurance in connection with this matter are not
to be deemed a waiver of any of its rights to disclaim liability or coverage under the insurance
policy issued by Penn National Insurance to Daniel and Cynthia Geyer bearing Policy No.
1290013168 for the policy period July 14, 2006 through January 14, 2007.
Please contact this writer upon receipt of this letter so that we may begin our investigation. In
addition, please do not hesitate to contact us in the event either you or your insurance broker has
any questions or comments regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
PENN NATIONAL INSURANCE

dismounted the motorcycle.
14. Denied as stated. Admitted that while Mrs. Geyer was in the Dollar
General store, Mr. Geyer waited for her return. However, Mr. Geyer was in no way in
contact with the motorcycle during this time, and was at least four to five feet away
from the motorcycle at all times; he spent his time watching his mother's residence,
which he could see from his position in the parking lot, in and effort to determine if she
was home.
15. Denied as stated. It is admitted that Mrs. Geyer exited the Dollar General
store and returned to the motorcycle; however, she did not "rejoin" Mr. Geyer, who
continued to look up at his mother's residence windows, standing four to five feet away
from the motorcycle.
16. Admitted as stated. By way of further information, Mr. Geyer did not
participate in placing any of the materials in the motorcycle's saddlebags, but rather,

five feet away from the motorcycle.
17. Denied as stated. Mr. Geyer was not standing next to the motorcycle, as
he was at least four to five feet from it; at this point in time he was unsure as to whether
he would continue the trip on the motorcycle or visit his mother, who he continued to

26. Denied as a statement of law. However, denied also because, as defined
by the policy, Mr. Geyer was not "occupying" the motorcycle at the time of the accident,
but rather was standing at least four to five feet away from the motorcycle at all times.
27. Admitted.
28. Denied. Rather, at the time of the accident Daniel Geyer was not
occupying the motorcycle (in that he was not "in, upon, getting in, on, out or off") he
owned which was not insured under the Policy and, therefore, coverage does exist
under the Policy for his claim in the instant action.
WHEREFORE, Defendants Daniel Geyer and Cynthia Geyer respectfully request
this Honorable Court to enter judgment in their favor and to issue a declaratory
judgment that they are entitled to coverage under the Penn National Insurance
Company Policy with respect to the claim submitted.

IN RE: PRETRIAL CONFERENCE
A pretrial conference was held in the chambers of
Judge Oler on October 2, 2008, in the above-captioned case.
Present on behalf of Plaintiff insurance company was Peter J.
Speaker, Esquire. Present on behalf of Defendants was David J.
Foster, Esquire.
This is a declaratory judgment action brought by
an insurer. Underlying the action is a claim made by a
motorcyclist for uninsured motorist coverage against his car
insurer premised upon the position that he was a pedestrian and
not an occupier of a vehicle when struck in a parking lot as he
stood in the vicinity of his motorcycle.
This will be a nonjury trial which is expected to
be of a duration of one-half day. By separate Order of Court the
trial has been scheduled for Monday, November 3, 2008, at
9:30 a.m.
Counsel are requested to submit briefs to the
Court on the issues which they perceive to exist in the case at
least 5 days prior to commencement of the trial. One issue which
may be briefed, unless resolved by agreement of counsel, is
whether the insurance company has the burden of proof in this
case.
