5. On January 23, 2010 Debra Stumpf was insured for automobile coverage by Erie.
6. The policy sold by Erie provided underinsured coverage in the event Debra Stumpf
was injured in a motor vehicle crash and the tortfeasor's automobile insurance policy provided
liability coverage insufficient to compensate Debra Stumpf for her damages.

County when traffic in front of her stopped. Debra Stumpf properly stopped her vehicle.
8. On that same date and time the Defendant John Barricklow was operating his Honda

11. The Plaintiff Debra Stumpf is entitled to damages for the Defendant John
Barricklow's negligence.
12. The collision and all of the above mentioned injuries and damages sustained by the
Plaintiff Debra Stumpf are the direct result of the negligence of the Defendant John Barricklow as
more particularly described as follows.
(a) In failing to stop his vehicle before colliding with the vehicle operated by Debra
Stumpf,
(b) In failing to keep alert and to maintain a proper lookout for the presence of other
motor vehicles, more specifically, the vehicle operated by Debra Stumpf;
(c) In failing to keep adequate and proper control over his vehicle to avoid contact with
the vehicle operated by Debra Stumpf;
(d) In failing to properly and quickly apply his brakes to prevent his vehicle from
colliding with the rear of the vehicle operated by Debra Stumpf.
-3-
(e) In operating his vehicle in violation of the Motor Vehicle Code of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically 75 Pa. C.S.A. §3714 (careless driving).
13. The force and impact of the collision as caused by the negligence of the Defendant
John Barricklow caused serious and permanent injury to the Plaintiff Debra Stumpf as hereinafter
described.
14. The Plaintiff Debra Stumpf suffered the following injuries as a result of the

(e) Radicular pain into left arm to the fingers;
(f) Headaches;

injuries suffered in this crash.
-4-
16. As a result of the negligence of the Defendant John Barricklow as described herein,

17. Plaintiff Debra Stumpf has been forced to expend sums of money for medical
services, medication, therapy and related expenses in the past and will be required to continue to do
so in the future.
18. All of Plaintiff Debra Stumpfs injuries as herein described are continuing and will

19. The negligence of the Defendant John Barricklow has resulted in the general
deterioration of Plaintiff Debra Stumpf s well-being.
COUNT I
Debra Stumpf v. Erie Insurance Exchange
20. Paragraphs 1-19 are incorporated by reference thereto.
21. Debra Stumpf paid a premium and Erie accepted payment of that premium to provide
underinsured motorists coverage.
-5-
22. Debra Stumpf believes that the value of her claim exceeds the policy limits of the
automobile coverage purchased by the Defendant Barricklow.
23. Accordingly by operation of law and the contract issued by Erie Debra Stumpf is
permitted to bring this claim for underinsured benefits. Erie has the original of the automobile
insurance policy issued to Warren and Debra Stumpf so no copy is attached to this complaint.
24. Erie has represented to Debra Stumpf that the policy provides for $ l OOOM in
underinsured coverage, unstacked.
25. It is beyond peradventure that Debra Stumpf was not negligent in causing the crash
and that the injuries Debra suffered are worth more than $100,000 which is the tortfeasor
Barricklow's liability coverage.
26. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 2229 provides in relevant part as follows:
"Rule 2229. Permissive Joinder
(b) A plaintiff may join as defendants persons against whom the
plaintiff asserts any right to relief jointly, severally, separately or in
the alternative, in respect of or arising out of the same transaction,
occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences if any common
question of law or fact affecting the liabilities of all such persons
arise in the action."
27. The causes of actions, claims and damages pled by Debra Stumpf against both
defendants all arise from the motor vehicle crash of January 23, 2010.
-6-
28. Joinder of the claims is appropriate because, not only is the actual underlying accident
occurrence the same, but Debra Stumpf's cause against both Barricklow and Erie involve:
(a) The same operative facts of the accident;
(b) The same driver fault that Debra must establish in order to recover against Defendant
Barricklow is the same driver fault that Debra must establish in order to recover
against Defendant Erie;
(c) The same damages suffered by Debra;
(d) The same medical evidence, treating doctors, medical experts and other experts to
prove Debra's damages;
(e) The same documentary evidence to prove damages;
(f) The same injuries to Debra;
(g) The same crash causation issues;
(h) The same injury causation issues.
29. Moreover, if joinder was not permitted Debra's legal costs for experts and other
expenses would be doubled.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff Debra Stumpf demands judgment against the Defendant Erie
Insurance Exchange for her underinsured benefits together with interest and costs of suit:.
-7-
COUNT II
Debra Stumpf v. John Barricklow
30. Paragraphs 1-29 are incorporated herein by reference thereto.
31. The collision and all of the hereinafter mentioned injuries and damages sustained by
the Plaintiff Debra Stumpf are the direct result of the carelessness, and negligence of the Defendant
John Barricklow as more particularly described above.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff Debra Stumpf demands judgment against the Defendant John
Barricklow in an amount which exceeds the compulsory arbitration limits of Cumberland County,
together with interest, delay damages if applicable and costs of suit.
COUNT III

PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS OF DEFENDANT
ERIE INSURANCE EXCHANGE TO PLAINTIFFS' COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes the Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange, by its attorneys, Johnson,
Duffie, Stewart & Weidner, P.C., who file these Preliminary Objections to the Plaintiffs' Complaint
and in support thereof, avers as follows:
1. Plaintiffs filed their Complaint in this case on or about September 23, 2011.
2. The Plaintiffs' Complaint asserts a cause of action for negligence against
Defendant John Barricklow as a result of a motor vehicle accident that occurred on January 23,
2010. (See Plaintiffs' Complaint, ¶¶ 1-19, 31, 34).
3. The Plaintiffs' Complaint also asserts a claim against Defendant Erie Insurance
Exchange for underinsured motorist benefits arising out of an insurance contract between
Plaintiffs and Erie Insurance Exchange. (See Plaintiffs' Complaint, ¶¶ 21-29).
4. The motor vehicle tortfeasor, Defendant John Barricklow, is not alleged to be a
party to the insurance contract issued by Erie Insurance Exchange to the Plaintiffs.
5. Rather, the insurance policy is a contract only between Debra and Warren Stumpf
and Erie Insurance Exchange.
6. The motor vehicle tortfeasor, Defendant John Barricklow, is not even alleged to be
a party to the claim for underinsured motorist benefits being made by Plaintiffs against Defendant
Erie Insurance Exchange.
7. Furthermore, the Plaintiffs do not even make a claim for joint and several liability or
for contribution between Defendant John Barricklow and Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange in
either the negligence cause of action or the claim for underinsured motorist benefits.
Preliminary Objection - Misioinder of Cause of Action
8. Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange incorporates by reference the averments
contained in paragraphs 1 through 8 of these Preliminary Objections as if set forth at length.
9. Rule 1028(5) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure provides that a
preliminary objection may be filed on the grounds of misjoinder of a cause of action. Pa. R.C.P.
No. 1028(5).
10. Rule 2229(b) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure provides for permissive
joinder as follows:
A plaintiff may join as defendants persons against whom the
plaintiff asserts any right to relief jointly, severally, separately or in
the alternative, in respect of or arising out of the same transaction,
occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences if any
common question of law or fact affecting the liabilities of all such
persons will arise in the action.
Pa. R.C.P. No. 2229(b).
11. The Plaintiffs' negligence cause of action against Defendant John Barricklow and
the claim for underinsured motorist benefits against Erie Insurance Exchange do not arise out of
the same transaction, occurrence or series of transactions or occurrences and do not involve
common questions of law affecting the liabilities of all such defendants. Stokes v. Loyal Order of
Moose Lodge, 502 Pa. 460, 466 A.2d 1341 (1983); Pa. R.C.P. No. 2229(b).
12. This Honorable Court considered the exact same issue in the case of Henry v.
Amin and Westfield Insurance Co., Cumberland County C.C.P. 11-4881. In that case, Mr. Amin,
the motor vehicle tortfeasor, filed preliminary objections to sever the plaintiffs' claim for
underinsured motorist benefits against Westfield Insurance Co.. By Order of the Court dated
September 1, 2011, the Honorable M. L. Ebert, Jr. granted the defendant's preliminary objections
and ordered the Plaintiff to file a separate Complaint against Westfield Insurance Company and
further ordered that the cause of action against Mr. Amin shall be tried first followed by the trial
against Westfield Insurance Company. A copy of Judge Ebert's Order from the Henry case is
attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
13. Pursuant to rule 2232(b) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, joinder of
unnecessary parties is not grounds for dismissal of an action. Rather, after notice to all parties, a
party may be dropped by order of court whenever that party has been misjoined. Pa. R.C.P. No.
2232(b).
14. Furthermore, under Rule 213(8) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure,
The court, in furtherance of convenience or to avoid prejudice, may, on its
own motion or on motion of any party, order a separate trial of any cause
of action, claim or counterclaim, set-off, or cross-suit, or of any separate
issue, or of any number of causes of action, claims, counterclaims,
set-offs, cross-suits, or issues.
Pa. R.C.P. No. 213(8)
15. The negligence cause of action against Defendant John Barricklow has been
misjoined to the clam for underinsured motorist benefits against Defendant Erie Insurance
Exchange.
16. There is no dispute that Defendant John Barricklow is not part of the Plaintiffs'
claims for underinsured motorist benefits against Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange.
17. Similarly, there should be no dispute that Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange is
not part of the Plaintiffs' cause of action for negligence against Defendant Barricklow.
18. Furthermore, it is asserted that a combined trial of the negligence cause of action
against Defendant Barricklow with the claim for underinsured motorist benefits against Erie
Insurance Exchange will cause great confusion to the jury to the detriment of all parties involved.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to grant this Preliminary Objection and to sever the Plaintiffs' claim for underinsured motorist
benefits against Erie from the Plaintiffs' cause of action for negligence against John Barricklow.
Erie further requests this Honorable Court to order that the case against Erie Insurance Exchange
shall be tried after the conclusion of the trial of the case against John Barricklow.
Preliminary Objection - Failure of a Pleading to
Conform to Law or Rule of Court/Leaaal Insufficiency of a Pleading
19. In Count I of their Complaint, the Plaintiffs bring "a claim for underinsured benefits"
against Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange. (See Complaint ¶¶ 21-29).
20. Under Pennsylvania law, there is no cause of action termed "a claim for
underinsured benefits."
21. Rather, in order to state a claim for underinsured motorist benefits from Erie
Insurance Exchange, Plaintiffs must properly plead a cause of action for breach of contract for
underinsured motorist benefits.
22. Rules 1028(a)(2) and 1028(a)(3) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure
provide for filing of preliminary objections based on failure of a pleading to conform to law or rule
of court and legal insufficiency of a pleading. Pa. r.C.P. Nos. 1028(a)(2) and 1028(a)(3).
WHEREFORE, Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to grant this Preliminary Objection to strike Count I of the Plaintiffs' Complaint and to order
the Plaintiffs to file a separate Amended Complaint against Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange to
replead Count I as a cause of action for breach of contract for underinsured motorist benefits.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PA
CIVIL ACTION
NO. 11-7290
Defendants : JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS OF JOHN BARRICKLOW TO PLAINTIFFS'
AMENDED COMPLAINT
1. INTRODUCTION
1. Plaintiffs initiated this matter by filing a Complaint, on or about September 23,
2011.
2. On October 29, 2011, Defendant Barricklow filed Preliminary Objections to
Plaintiffs' original Complaint.
3. On or about November 14, 2011, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint
resolving some issues raised in the Preliminary Objections.
4. Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint asserts a claim against Defendant John
Barricklow sounding in negligence arising from a motor vehicle accident that occurred on the
Carlisle Pike in Cumberland County on January 23, 2010.
1
Plaintiffs also assert a claim for UIM benefits against their first party provider,
Erie Insurance Exchange.
6. Defendant Barricklow files these Preliminary Objections to Plaintiffs' Amended
Complaint pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1028(a)(5) for misjoinder of a cause of action.
II. PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
Preliminary Objection Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1028(a)(2) for Inclusion
of Impertinent Matter and 1028(a)(5) for the Misjoinder of a Cause of
Action
7. Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint asserts a claim for negligence against Defendant
Barricklow
and presumably a breach of contract claim against his first party carrier, Erie Insurance
Exchange, for underinsured motorists benefits.
8. The issue of insurance is raised throughout the Amended Complaint from the
caption on through paragraphs 5 and 6 and through Count I along with the wherefore clause.
9. Plaintiffs' references to insurance coverage with Erie Insurance Exchange is
immaterial and inappropriate to the proof of the cause of action as against Defendant Barricklow
and as such must be stricken. Common Cause of Pa. v. Commw., 710 A.2d 108, 115 (Pa.
Commw. Ct. 1998); Custard Design Group, Inc. v. LaMarco Contracting Inc., Docket No. 06-
4482; Slip. Op. at 6 (CCP Cumberland, June 21, 2001).
10. Plaintiffs' attempt to join a negligence claim against Defendant Barricklow and a
breach of contract claim for underinsured motorists benefits against Erie Insurance Exchange is
prejudicial to Defendant Barricklow. Pa.R.C.P. 213(b); Pa.R.E. 403; Pa.R.E. 411.
11. Plaintiffs' attempt to join the negligence claim against Defendant Barricklow and
first party breach of contract claim against Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange does not arise out
2
of the same transaction, occurrence or series of transactions or occurrences, and do not involve
common questions of law and fact affecting the liabilities of the respective Defendants.
Pa.R.C.P. 229(b); Stokes v. Loyal Order of Moose Lodge, 502 Pa. 460, 466 A.2d 1341 (1983).
12. This Honorable Court considered a similar issue in the matter of Henry v. Amin
and Westfield Insurance Co., Cumberland County, CCP 11-4881. In that matter, Defendant
Amin filed preliminary objections to sever the Henry plaintiffs' claim for underinsured motorist
benefits against their UIM carrier, Westfield Insurance Co. On September 1, 2011, Judge Ebert

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
NO. 2011-7290 CIVIL
PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS OF DEFENDANT
ERIE INSURANCE EXCHANGE TO PLAINTIFFS' AMENDED COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes the Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange, by its attorneys, Johnson,
Duffie, Stewart & Weidner, P.C., who file these Preliminary Objections to the Plaintiffs' Amended
Complaint and in support thereof, avers as follows:
1. Plaintiffs filed their Amended Complaint in this case on or about November 12,
2011.
2. The Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint asserts a cause of action for negligence against
Defendant John Barricklow as a result of a motor vehicle accident that occurred on January 23,
2010. (See Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint, ¶¶ 7, 38, 40-42).
3. The Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint also asserts a claim against Defendant Erie
Insurance Exchange for underinsured motorist benefits arising out of an insurance contract
between Plaintiffs and Erie Insurance Exchange. (See Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint, ¶¶ 19-36).
4. The motor vehicle tortfeasor, Defendant John Barricklow, is not alleged to be a
party to the insurance contract issued by Erie Insurance Exchange to the Plaintiffs.
5. Rather, the insurance policy is a contract only between Debra and Warren Stumpf
and Erie Insurance Exchange.
6. The motor vehicle tortfeasor, Defendant John Barricklow, is not even alleged to be
a party to the claim for underinsured motorist benefits being made by Plaintiffs against Defendant
Erie Insurance Exchange.
7. Furthermore, the Plaintiffs do not even make a claim for joint and several liability or
for contribution between Defendant John Barricklow and Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange in
either the negligence cause of action or the claim for underinsured motorist benefits.
Preliminary Objection - Misjoinder of Cause of Action
8. Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange incorporates by reference the averments
contained in paragraphs 1 through 8 of these Preliminary Objections as if set forth at length.
9. Rule 1028(5) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure provides that a
preliminary objection may be filed on the grounds of misjoinder of a cause of action. Pa. R.C.P.
No. 1028(5).
10. Rule 2229(b) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure provides for permissive
joinder as follows:
A plaintiff may join as defendants persons against whom the
plaintiff asserts any right to relief jointly, severally, separately or in
the alternative, in respect of or arising out of the same transaction,
occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences if any
common question of law or fact affecting the liabilities of all such
persons will arise in the action.
Pa. R.C.P. No. 2229(b).
11. The Plaintiffs' negligence cause of action against Defendant John Barricklow and
the claim for underinsured motorist benefits against Erie Insurance Exchange do not arise out of
the same transaction, occurrence or series of transactions or occurrences and do not involve
common questions of law affecting the liabilities of all such defendants. Stokes v. Loyal Order of
Moose Lodge, 502 Pa. 460, 466 A.2d 1341 (1983); Pa. R.C.P. No. 2229(b).
12. This Honorable Court considered the exact same issue in the case of Henry v.
Amin and Westfield Insurance Co., Cumberland County C.C.P. 11-4881. In that case, Mr. Amin,
the motor vehicle tortfeasor, filed preliminary objections to sever the plaintiffs' claim for
underinsured motorist benefits against Westfield Insurance Co.. By Order of the Court dated
September 1, 2011, the Honorable M. L. Ebert, Jr. granted the defendant's preliminary objections
and ordered the Plaintiff to file a separate Complaint against Westfield Insurance Company and
further ordered that the cause of action against Mr. Amin shall be tried first followed by the trial
against Westfield Insurance Company. A copy of Judge Ebert's Order from the Henry case is
attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
13. Pursuant to rule 2232(b) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, joinder of
unnecessary parties is not grounds for dismissal of an action. Rather, after notice to all parties, a
party may be dropped by order of court whenever that party has been misjoined. Pa. R.C.P. No.
2232(b).
14. Furthermore, under Rule 213(B) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure,
The court, in furtherance of convenience or to avoid prejudice, may, on its
own motion or on motion of any party, order a separate trial of any cause
of action, claim or counterclaim, set-off, or cross-suit, or of any separate
issue, or of any number of causes of action, claims, counterclaims,
set-offs, cross-suits, or issues.
Pa. R.C.P. No. 213(8).
15. The negligence cause of action against Defendant John Barricklow has been
misjoined to the clam for underinsured motorist benefits against Defendant Erie Insurance
Exchange.
16. There is no dispute that Defendant John Barricklow is not part of the Plaintiffs'
claims for underinsured motorist benefits against Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange.
17. Similarly, there should be no dispute that Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange is
not part of the Plaintiffs' cause of action for negligence against Defendant Barricklow.
18. Furthermore, it is asserted that a combined trial of the negligence cause of action
against Defendant Barricklow with the claim for underinsured motorist benefits against Erie
Insurance Exchange will cause great confusion to the jury to the detriment of all parties involved.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to grant this Preliminary Objection and to sever the Plaintiffs' claim for underinsured motorist
benefits against Erie from the Plaintiffs' cause of action for negligence against John Barricklow.
Erie further requests this Honorable Court to order that the case against Erie Insurance Exchange
shall be tried after the conclusion of the trial of the case against John Barricklow.
Preliminary Objection - Failure of a Pleading to
Conform to Law or Rule of Court/Leaal Insufficiency of a Pleading
19. In Count I of their Complaint, the Plaintiffs purport to state a claim for underinsured
benefits against Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange. (See Amended Complaint ¶¶ 19-36).
20. Under Pennsylvania law, in order to state a claim for underinsured motorist benefits
from Erie Insurance Exchange, Plaintiffs must properly plead a cause of action for breach of
contract for underinsured motorist benefits.
21. Rules 1028(a)(2) and 1028(a)(3) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure
provide for filing of preliminary objections based on failure of a pleading to conform to law or rule
of court and legal insufficiency of a pleading. Pa. R.C.P. Nos. 1028(a)(2) and 1028(a)(3).
WHEREFORE, Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to grant this Preliminary Objection to strike Count I of the Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint and
to order the Plaintiffs to file a separate Second Amended Complaint against Defendant Erie
Insurance Exchange to replead Count I as a cause of action for breach of contract for
underinsured motorist benefits.
Preliminary Objection - Insufficient Specificity in a Pleadina
22. Rule 1028(a)(c) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure provides that any
party may file a preliminary objection based on insufficient specificity in a pleading. PA. R.C.P.
No. 1028(a)(3).
23. In Count I of their Amended Complaint, Plaintiffs claim damages from Erie
Insurance Exchange. (See, Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint, "19-36).
24. Erie Insurance Exchange cannot determine from the Amended Complaint if the
Plaintiffs are only seeking underinsured motorist benefits from Erie Insurance Exchange or are
also seeking extracontractual damages.
25. If the Plaintiffs are seeking extracontractual damages from Erie Insurance
Exchange, the Plaintiffs should be required to plead such a claim in a separate Count from their
claim for underinsured motorist benefits.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Erie Insurance Exchange respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to grant this Preliminary Objection and to order the Plaintiffs to file a Second Amended
Complaint to replead Count I with sufficient specificity to enable Erie to determine what causes of
action or claims the Plaintiffs are asserting against Erie. In the event that the Plaintiffs are seeking
extracontractual damages from Erie, then Erie respectfully requests this Honorable Court to order
the Plaintiffs to separately and specifically plead their claims against Erie in separate Counts.

CIVIL ACTION -LAW
PLAINTIFF'S PRELIMINARY OBJECTION
TO DEFENDANTS' AMENDED ANSWER WITH NEW MATTER
Preliminary Obiection Pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1028 in the Nature of a Motion to Strike
1. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1024(c) requires that a pleading be verified ~y
i
a party unless the party lacks sufficient knowledge or information or is outside the jurisdiction of t~e
court and the verification cannot be obtained within the time allowed.
2. Defendant Barricklow's Amended Answer and New Matter to Plaintiffs' Compla~nt
is verified by counsel rather than a party.
T e verification does not set forth any of the enumerated reasons in 1024(c)
is
therefore improper.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs move this Honorable Court to Order the Defendant to properly
verify his Amended Answer with New Matter within twenty (20) days or that the Amended Answier
and New Matter be stricken and default judgment as to liability entered.
Preliminary Objections in the Nature of a Motion for a More Specific
Pleading Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1028(a)(3) and in the Nature of a
Motion to Strike Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1028(a)(2) and (3)
1. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1019(a) reads: "The material facts on whi~h
a cause of action or defense is based shall be stated in a concise and summary form.''
2. D~;fendant Barricklow has failed to plead any material facts upon which Defenda~t
Barricklow bases certain of his defenses as enumerated below.
3. Defendant Barricklow cannot argue the case is in the preliminary stages and t~e
parties will be e~:ploring the facts surrounding this accident in discovery but is required to pled
material facts if 1~_e has any now.
4. This case is analogous to the Supreme Court decision of
Hospital, 461 A.2d 600 (1983) and to the decision rendered by the Hol
in Tomasetti v. State Farm, 123 Dauph. 442 (October 24, 2007).
5. T1e paragraphs in the New Matter which are not spe
object are as follows:
43. Plaintiffs' claims may be barred by the applicable statute of
limitations.
44. Defendant reserves his right to raise one or more of those
defenses reserved under Pa. R.C.P. 1030.
45. Plaintiffs' recoverable damages may be limited by their
limited tort selection.
46. Plaintiffs' claims may be barred by the application of accord
and satisfaction.
47. Plaintiffs' claims may be barred and/or diminished by the
applicable Doctrines of Comparative and/or Contributory
Negligence.
48. Plaintiffs have failed to state a claim upon which relief may
be granted.
4~+. No act or omission on the part of Defendant was a substantial
factor in bringing about Plaintiffs' injuries and/or damages,
all such injuries and/or damages being expressly denied.
6. Moreover, Defendant Barricklow's averments at paragraphs 43 and 48 are totally
frivolous and constitute vexatious litigation. Paragraph 43 raises the statute of limitations yet
Barricklow knows the crash was January 23, 2010 and the Complaint was filed September 21, 201 jl .
In paragraph 48, Barricklow claims the Complaint fails to state a cause of action. The Complaint
avers arear-end collision causing personal injury, clearly stating a cause of action.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs Debra and Warren Stumpfmove this Honorable Court for an Order
requiring Defendant Barricklow to file an Amended New Matter which complies with Pa. R.C..
1019 and states t ie material facts on which the Defendant's defenses are based. In the alternative,
Plaintiff moves this Honorable Court for an Order striking Paragraphs 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 and ~9
from Defendant's New Matter.
