V1N# 2S2AC34S9M6601404 ("Insured Vehicle"), owned by Plaintiff's insured, Todd Frey.
4. At all times mentioned herein, Progressive's insured was the owner of said Insured Vehicle and

9. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant's negligence, Progressive's Insured's wife sustained

10. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the insurance policy, Progressive paid the sum of
$2,641.83, which represents the property damages sustained to its Insured's Vehicle and uninsured motorist claim
