BIXLER, Plaintiff V. EARL GUISE, II Defendant CIVIL ACTION - LAW Docket No. o P- 47 y 7 C?,j -7;:- JURY TRIAL DEMANDED COMPLAINT 1. Plaintiff, Unitrin Auto & Home Insurance Company ("Plaintiff') is an insurance company authorized to offer automobile insurance in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with a business address of 5784 Widewaters Parkway, Dewitt, New York, 13214. 2. Plaintiff provided automobile insurance, pursuant to Policy Number RC866824 to Kiley W. Bixler, an adult individual who resides at 10 Diven Drive, York Haven, York County, PA 17370. 3. Defendant, Earl R. Guise, II ("Defendant"), is an adult individual who resides at 800 Pamela's Lane East, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, PA 17055. 4. At approximately 5:30 pm., on January 16, 2007, Mr. Bixler's vehicle was struck by a 2003 Ford F-350 pick-up truck owned and operated by Defendant, sustaining damages as set forth below. IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA 5. At the aforesaid time and place, Mr. Bixler's vehicle was being operated in an easterly direction on Pennsylvania State Route 581 when it was brought to a stop in response to a stop in traffic ahead. 6. Defendant failed to bring his vehicle to a stop within the assured clear distance ahead and struck the rear of Mr. Bixler's vehicle pushing it into a third vehicle, a 2005 Pontiac Bonneville owned and operated by Barry L. Daniel. 7. The motor vehicle accident described above was the sole and proximate result of the negligence of Defendant which consisted, inter alia, of the following: a. Failing to bring his vehicle to a stop within the assured clear distance ahead; b. Traveling at an unsafe speed; C. Failing to keep a proper lookout; d. Failing to observe the stopped vehicles in front of him, including the vehicle owned by Mr. Bixler; e. Failing to apply his brakes to avoid striking Mr. Bixler's vehicle; f. Traveling at an excessive rate of speed under the circumstances; and g. Violating the provisions of 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 3361. 8. As a direct and proximate result of the negligence of Defendant, as aforesaid, Mr. Bixler's vehicle sustained damage to both the front and rear, which damages were determined to be a total loss. 9. Just prior to the motor vehicle accident, Mr. Bixler's vehicle had a fair market value of $10,613.25. Mr. Bixler recovered $370.50 by way of salvage leaving total property damage in the amount of $10,242.75, all of which was caused by the negligence of Defendant. 10. Pursuant to his automobile insurance policy, Plaintiff paid Mr. Bixler $9,742.75, which represents the net value of his vehicle less his deductible. 11. While Defendant has reimbursed Mr. Bixler for his out of pocket losses, Defendant has not reimbursed Plaintiff. 2 12. Accordingly, as a direct and proximate result of the negligence of Defendant as aforesaid, Plaintiff has sustained pecuniary loss in the total amount of $9,742.75. 13. As such, Plaintiff seeks to subrogate said amount from Defendant due to his aforementioned negligence. 14. The claim of Plaintiff does not exceed the applicable jurisdictional limits of compulsory arbitration in Cumberland County. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Unitrin Auto & Home Insurance Company, as subrogee of Kiley W. Bixler, demands judgment in its favor in the amount of $9,742.75 together with delay damages, costs of suit and such other and further relief as this Honorable Court deems proper and just.
