I represent Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company in the above-referenced matter.
Nationwide has reached a settlement agreement with the administrators of the Estate of Michael
Alan Clifford, II, for fatal injuries sustained in a January 19, 2010 motor vehicle accident. The
deceased, Michael Alan Clifford, II, died at the scene of the accident. Nationwide seeks to pay
settlement proceeds out of benefits from a policy of motor vehicle insurance issued by
Nationwide to the driver involved in the accident, Kathy E. Dick. The decedent was aged 21
years at the time of his death, and his only intestate heirs are his parents, Michael A. Clifford, Sr.
and Misty Clifford. Please note that Michael A. Clifford, Sr. has recently passed away as of
October 22, 2010.
We write to advise the Department of Revenue of the proposed distribution of the
settlement proceeds that are to be distributed to the intestate heirs and/or Estate of Michael Alan
Clifford, II. In that regard, enclosed please find a copy of the Petition seeking approval from the
Court. Also enclosed is a copy of the Letters of Administration granted by the Cumberland
County Register of Wills to Michael A. Clifford, Sr. and Misty Clifford.
Kindly advise at your earliest opportunity whether the Department of Revenue has any
objection to the proposed settlement. If you need additional information or materials, please do
not hesitate to contact the undersigned. Thank you in advance for your courtesies and your
prompt attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
SWARTZ CAMPBELL LLC
