COMPLAINT
1. The PlaintiffPagie R. Thurber is an individual who reside at 342 Louisa Lane,
Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17055.
2. The Defendant Dwayne E. Nance is an adult individual who resides at 2109
Warren Way, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17055.
3. On February 10, 2000 Pagie Thurber was residing at 429 Shelly Lane in
Etters, Pennsylvania.
4. The premises at 429 Shelly Lane was owned solely by the Defendant Dwayne
E. Nance, who also resided at the premises.
5. At approximately 6'00 a.m. Pagie Thurber left the premises to go to her car
which was parked in the driveway.
6. Pagie started the car to allow it to warm up.
7. Pagie then exited the car and traveled toward the end of the driveway to
retrieve the mail from the mailbox.
8. It was necessary for Pagie to walk on the driveway because there was no
sidewalk and no other route for Pagie to choose to get to the mailbox.
9. It had snowed earlier that week and Pagie brought to the attention of Dwayne
Nance that there was ice accumulating on the driveway.
10. Pagie on at least one occasion the week before she fell had cleared the
driveway of as much snow and ice as she was capable of removing.
11. Pagie specifically asked the Defendant to put salt or some other chemical on
the driveway to remove the accumulated ice. The Defendant refused that request even though he had
the chemical in his basement.
12. Pagie offered to put the salt or chemical on the driveway herself. The
Defendant also refused that request, stating that it would damage the driveway surface.
13. As Pagie moved toward the mailbox while walking on the icy driveway as
carefully as she could her fight leg slipped and bent out, causing both her tibia and fibula to instantly
fracture.
14. Plaintiff was taken to the emergency department at Harrisburg Hospital.
15. Immediate surgery known as an open reduction and internal fixation of the
right distal tibia and fibula was performed by Dr. Hamsher.
16. The aforesaid incident and all of the hereinafter mentioned injuries and
damages sustained by the Plaintiff Pagie Thurber are the direct and proximate result of the
carelessness and negligence of the Defendant Dwayne Nance which consisted of:
(a) In failing to adequately and properly maintain the driveway in a safe
condition;
(b) In failing to remove the ice in a timely fashion from the driveway;
(c) In failing to provide a safe means and method for persons to use in exiting the
(d) In failing to place a non-skid material on the ice to create a safe means and
method for Pagie to get to the mailbox by using the driveway.
(e) In refusing to permit Pagie to place a non-skid material on the driveway.
17. As a proximate result of the incident described above, the Plaintiff Pagie
Thurber sustained serious, painful and permanent injuries which consisted of the following:
(a) Spiral fracture of the right distal fibula;
(b) Spiral fracture of the right distal tibia which was displaced;
(c) Permanent scarring from the surgical procedure and procedures to come;
(d) Pain and discomfort from the surgical hardware inserted in her leg;
(e) General trauma and shock;
(f) Loss of range of motion in her leg;
(g) Early onset of permanent arthritis in her leg;
(h) A limp;
(i) Confinement to a wheelchair, crutches and casts for months.
18. By reason of the Plaintiff Pagie Thurber's injuries as set forth above, she has
received medical treatment and physical therapy and continues to receive said treatment and therapy
to recover from the injuries suffered in this incident.
19. As a result of the negligence of the Defendant Dwayne Nance as described
herein, the Plaintiff Pagie Thurber has suffered and will continue to suffer mental and physical pain,
great difficulty in carrying out and engaging in life's activities, a loss of life's pleasures and
enjoyment, humiliation and embarrassment.
20. PlaintiffPagie Thurber has and will in the future sustain a loss of earnings and
an impairment to her earning capacity. Hers past and future loss of earnings will exceed $10,000.
21. Plaintiff Pagie Thurber has been Ibrced to undergo and receive medical
services, medication and therapy in the past and will be required to continue to do so in the future.
Upon information and belief, the cost of such services are currently in excess of $5,000 and will
continue to increase up to the time of trial.
22. The Plaintiff Pagie Thurber will be forced to undergo yet another surgical
procedure in the Fall of 2001 to remove the painful surgical hardware.
23. All ofPlaintiffPagie Thurber's injuries as herein described are continuing and
will continue into the foreseeable future, as will the treatment costs thereof.
24. The negligence of the Defendant Dwayne Nance has resulted in the general
deterioration of Plaintiff Pagie Thurber's well-being.
WHEREFORE, the PlaintiffPagie Thurber demands judgment against the Defendant
Dwayne Nance in an amount which exceeds the compulsory arbitration limits of Cumberland
County, together with interest, delay damages if applicable and costs of suit.
Respectfully submitted,

1. The Petitioner is Robert F. Claraval ofClaraval & Claraval who was retained
on April 19, 2000 as Plaintiffs attorney in this matter.
2. The Respondent is Pagie R. Thurber.
3. This case involves a slip and fall on an icy driveway whereby Ms. Thurber

4. A Complaint was filed on April 4, 2001 and Defendant filed an Answer on
May 23, 2001. The case has not been listed for trial as there are several depositions including expert
depositions which must be scheduled.
5. The Petitioner Robert F. Claraval now seeks a Rule to Show Cause why he
should not be permitted to withdraw as counsel for Ms. Thurber in this matter. Plaintiff's counsel
does not wish to specify his reasons for his request to withdraw as counsel because under the Rules

Thurber's cause of action.
6. Mr. Nance's counsel John Statler, Esq. has given his consent to the filing of
this Petition and concurs with Robert F. Claraval's request to withdraw as counsel.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner Robert F. Claraval moves this Honorable Court for a Rule
