The Plaintiff, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, is an Ohio corporation with its corporate offices in Columbus, Ohio and a principle place of business in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. 2. Paul Seibert is an adult individual who resides at 7728 Yellow Church Road Seven Valleys, PA 17360. 3. Defendant, Continent Logistics, Inc. is a Minnesota corporation with its principle place of business located at 1400 Madison Avenue N #342, Mankato, MN 56001. 4. Defendant, Ansumana Fofana is an adult individual who resides at 484 Glen Arbor Circle, Apt. 207. Cordova, TN 38018 STATEMENT OF FACTS 5. On September 5, 2007, Paul Seibert was stopped in the Flying J parking lot waiting for a tractor trailer to back into a parking space when another tractor trailer driven by Defendant, Ansunana Fofana tried to "squeeze" around Seibert's vehicle on the right side. Having insufficient room to maneuver around Seibert's motor home, Defendants' tractor trailer struck and damaged Seibert's custom Ford van which was being towed behind the motor home. 6. Instead of stopping, Defendant Fofana continued on, attempting to exit the parking lot onto Harrisburg Pike. A red traffic light at the parking lot's exit enabled Mr. Seibert to catch the tractor trailer, whereupon Mr. Fofana admitted striking the Seibert vehicle. 7. At all times relative to the accident, Mr. Fofana was acting within the course and scope of his employment with Defendant Continent Logistics, Inc. Accordingly, Defendant Continent is vicariously liable for the negligence of their driver and the damages caused by him. 8. The collision between the two vehicles was caused solely by the negligence of Defendant Fofana in: (a) failing to wait until the Seibert vehicle was able to move so that Defendant would have sufficient room to maneuver his vehicle without striking the Seibert vehicle; (b) failing o keep his vehicle under proper control; (c) failing to be attentive to other traffic within the parking lot; (d) failing to maneuver his vehicle to avoid contact with other vehicles. 9. The negligence of Defendant Fofana caused damage to the Seibert vehicle in the amount of $2,229.49. 10. Pursuant to the insurance policy issued by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company to Paul Seibert, Nationwide was required to pay for the damage caused to the Seibert vehicle by Defendants' negligence. As provided in the policy contract, Nationwide is now subrogated to the right of its insured to recover the damages from the at-fault party. Accordingly, Nationwide demands judgment in its favor in the amount of $2,229.49 in addition to the costs of filing this action. 11. On September 18, 2007, Teddy Kobingi of Defendant, Continent Logistics, Inc. advised Nationwide that his company would pay for the damages to Mr. Seibert's vehicle. On multiple occasions thereafter, Mr. Kobingi advised Nationwide that the "check was in the mail". To date, payment has not been received. WHEREFORE, Nationwide seeks recovery of the total damages in the amount of $2,229.49. Respectfully submitted, LAW OFFICE OF SNYDER & DORER ( W ) By: JoAnn .
