COMPLAINT
NOW COME, Cindy M. Westra ("Mrs. Westra") and Kevin Westra ("Mr. Westra")
(collectively "the Westras"), by and through their counsel Smigel, Anderson & Sacks,
L.L.P., who file the within Complaint by averring as follows:
Parties:
1. Plaintiffs, the Westras, are adult individuals who are Pennsylvania
residents residing at 112 Ellesmere Lane, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
2. Defendant is the Mechanicsburg Area School District ("MASD"), a school
district and a local government agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with a
principal office located at 500 South Broad Street, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
Jurisdiction and Venue:
3. This Court has jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter of this case.
4. Venue is appropriate in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania pursuant to
Pa. R.C.P. 2103(b), as it is the county in which the local agency or political subdivision
is located.
Background:
5. At all times relevant hereto, MASD was in the exclusive custody,
possession, and control of the Shepherdstown Elementary School at 1849 South York
Street, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania ("the Premises").
6. On January 21, 2004, Mrs. Westra was lawfully present on the Premises,
within the kindergarten room, volunteering to assist with the kindergarten class.
7. At approximately 10:45 a.m. on this same date, Mrs. Westra exited the
kindergarten room, proceeding carefully into the interior hallway.
8. On July 13, 2004, prior to the expiration of the six-month period, the
Westras provided MASD with the required Notice of Intention to sue a government unit,
a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto and made part of this document as
Exhibit "A".
9. Despite reporting the incident to MASD and demanding that the Westras
be made whole, MASD has refused and failed to do so. A true and correct copy of said
refusal letter is attached hereto and made part of this document as Exhibit "B".

COUNT I
THE WESTRAS v. MASD
10. Plaintiffs hereby incorporate by reference paragraphs 1 through 9 of this
Complaint as if fully stated herein.
11. As MASD had, at all relevant times, the exclusive custody, possession
and control of the Premises, it was the duty of MASD to keep and maintain the
Premises in a reasonably safe condition for those persons lawfully thereon.
12. Notwithstanding its duty, MASD did, at the aforementioned date and time,
and for some time prior thereto, carelessly, recklessly, and negligently allow and permit
to remain on the Premises a dangerous and defective condition, to wit: the hallway floor
was left in a wet and slippery condition covered in a liquid substance with no markers or
signs within the proximity of the classroom warning of the wet floor and/or its resulting
slippery condition.
13. As Mrs. Westra was proceeding upon the Premises as aforesaid, Mrs.
Westra was caused to fall by reason of a dangerous and defective condition existing on
the floor, with the result that Mrs. Westra suffered severe and serious injuries and
damages as are hereinafter set forth.
14. At the time of the incident, and for some time prior thereto, MASD did or
should have had both notice and knowledge of the aforesaid dangerous condition and
did allow and permit the dangerous condition to be and remain on the premises.
15. The injuries and damages which are hereinafter set forth were caused
solely by and were a direct result of the negligence of MASD in any or all of the
following respects:
-3-
a. in failing to keep the Premises in a safe condition for persons
lawfully using the same;
b. in permitting the dangerous condition to be and remain on the
Premises when MASD knew or, in the exercise of reasonable care, should have known
of the danger involved;
C. in failing to warn Mrs. Westra of the dangerous condition created
by the above-described hazard;
d. in failing to remove, cover, block, or otherwise warn of the
dangerous condition of which MASD knew or, in the exercise of reasonable care, should
have known;
e. in permitting persons, and Mrs. Westra in particular, to traverse the
Premises when MASD knew or, in the exercise of reasonable care, should have known
that it was dangerous to do so and involved an unreasonable risk of harm to persons
doing so;
f. in failing to notify or warn persons, and Mrs. Westra in particular, of
the dangerous condition so that the hazard involved could be avoided;
g. In maintaining the Premises in such a manner as to constitute a
danger to persons, and Mr. Westra in particular, lawfully thereon;
h. in failing to provide persons lawfully using the Premises, and Mrs.
Westra in particular, with a safe area to traverse the premises;
in failing to exercise that degree of care and regard for the rights
and safety of persons lawfully on the Premises, such as Mrs. Westra, as was required
under the circumstances.
-4-
16. Solely as a result of the negligence of MASD as aforesaid, Mrs. Westra
sustained the following injuries, all of which are or may be of a permanent nature:
a. a fracture to her distal radius in her left arm;
b. reflex sympathetic dystrophy resulting from the fracture to her
distal radius in her left arm;
C. adhesive capsulitis in her left arm;
d. swelling;
e. soreness;
f. stiffness;
g. and other severe and serious injuries including but not limited to a
loss of the full use and strength in her left arm.
17. As a result of the injuries as aforesaid, Mrs. Westra has incurred the
following damages:
a. Mrs. Westra claims damages for medical expenses and future
medical expenses which she will incur as a result of the injuries she sustained from the
above-described slip and fall.
b. Mrs. Westra has incurred out-of-pocket expenses, related to travel
and overnight accommodations, as a result of the above-described slip and fall and the
need to seek treatment and care out of the area.
C. Mrs. Westra has experienced and will continue to experience pain,
suffering, inconvenience, and a loss of life's pleasures;
d. Mrs. Westra has experienced and will continue to experience
embarrassment and mental anguish;
-5-
e. Mrs. Westra has suffered and will continue to suffer loss of restful
sleep, loss of mobility, fatigue, and an impairment of her general health, strength, and
vitality;
f. Mrs. Westra has experienced a loss of business opportunities and
current and future income and wages;
18. As a result of the injuries described, supra, Mr. Westra has sustained a
loss of consortium and has been deprived of the services and companionship of his
wife, Mrs. Westra.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiffs demand judgment against the Defendant in an
amount in excess of this County's mandatory arbitration limits plus the cost of this action
and any other relief that this Honorable Court may deem just and proper.

Dear Mr. Good:
August 12, 2004
52_c)6 A-8
As you know, School Claims Service, LLC is the claims administrator for the above
School District. I am in receipt of your letter dated August 10, 2004 outlining your
theory of liability and injuries sustained by your client.
As was previously stated, this insured is considered a "local agency" and is afforded tort
immunities as described in 42 Pa. C.S.A., section 8541. Contained in the same statute,
section 8542(b), are eight exceptions to the tort immunity granted this local agency.
Our factual investigation of this claim is complete. We conclude that the circumstances
surrounding this claim do not meet the above mentioned exceptions to the Statute.
Specifically, we are told that warning cones were placed in the area where the mopping
was done. Therefore, it is our position that the above insured was not negligent in the
care, custody and control of the real property.
On behalf of the above School District and Indemnity Insurance Company of North
America, any and all claims arising out of this incident are hereby denied.
However, this policy of insurance includes medical payment coverage for non-
students. This addresses any related medical expenses not covered by any personal
health insurance policy. Before any payments can be issued under this provision, we
will need a copy of the applicable Explanation of Benefits form from any carrier along
with any notes, reports or other documents supporting the charges.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Je frey Feaster
Casualty Claims Specialist

ANSWER AND NEW MATTER OF IDEFENDANT,
MECHANICSBURG AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT,
TO PLAINTIFFS' COMPLAINT
NOW COMES, Defendant, Mechanicsburg Area School District, by its counsel Robert A.
Lerman and Griffith, Strickler, Lerman, Solymos & Calkins and files the following Answer and
New Matter to Plaintiffs' Complaint
Parties:
1. Admitted upon information and belief.
2. Admitted.
Jurisdiction and Venue:
3. The allegations set forth in paragraph 3 of Plaintiffs' Complaint constitute a
conclusion of law to which no response is required.
4. The allegations set forth in paragraph 4 of Plaintiffs' Complaint constitute a
conclusion of law to which no response is required.
Background:
5. Denied. To the extent the allegations set forth in paragraph 5 constitute a conclusion
of law, no response is required. To the extent a response is deerned required, it is denied that at all
times relevant hereto MASD was in the exclusive custody, possession and control of the
Shepherdstown Elementary School at 1849 South York Street, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania ("the Premises"). On the contrary, it is averred that the record title owner of
the Shepherdstown Elementary School located at 1849 South York Street, Mechanicsburg,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania ("the Premises") is the Mechanisburg Area School District and
that at all times relevant, including January 21, 2004, the Mechanicsburg Area School District
through its authorized agents, servants, representatives, and employees, had custody, possession,
and control of the subject premises.
6. Denied. To the extent that the allegations set forth in paragraph 6 of Plaintiffs'
Complaint constitute a conclusion of law, no response is required. To the extent a response is
required, it is admitted that on January 21, 2004, Mrs. Westra was present on the premises within
the kindergarten room, volunteering to assist with the kindergarten class.
7. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that at approximately 10:45 a.m.
on this same date, Mrs. Westra exited the kindergarten room. It is denied that Mrs. Westra
proceeded carefully into the interior hallway and strict proof thereof is demanded. By way of
further Answer, see Defendant's New Matter set forth hereinafter with regard to the comparative
negligence of Mrs. Westra.
8. To the extent the allegations set forth in paragraph 8 constitute a conclusion of law,
no response is required. To the extent a response is required, it is admitted that a letter dated July
13, 2004 was received by MASD and it is further admitted that a copy of the July 13, 2004 letter is
attached to Plaintiffs' Complaint and marked Exhibit A. By way of further Answer, it is averred
that Exhibit A to Plaintiffs' Complaint is a written document and speaks for itself.
9. Denied. The allegations set forth in paragraph 9 of Plaintiffs' Complaint do not
assert factual allegations which are relevant or admissible or upon which, if proven to be true,
establish any duty of care or breach of that duty owed by Defendant to Plaintiffs and therefore, the
2
inclusion of such allegations are improper and in violation of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil
Procedure.
COUNTI

10. Defendant, Mechanicsburg Area School District, incorporates herein by reference, as
if fully set forth at length, its Answer to Plaintiffs' Complaint, Paragraph Nos. 1 - 9, inclusive, as

circumstances, fulfilling any and all duties legally owed to the Plaintiff or persons in the position of
the Plaintiff and it is further averred that at all times relevant, the premises in question were kept
and maintained in a reasonably safe condition, under the circumstances existing, for those persons
lawfully thereon.
12. Denied. To the extent the allegations set ;forth in paragraph 12 constitute a

circumstances required, and Mrs. Westra failed to observe the condition she claims existed and/or
disregarded the warnings. The remaining allegations of paragraph 13 are denied with respect to
Mrs. Westra's damages in that after reasonable investigation, Defendant is without knowledge or
information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the allegations and same are denied and
strict proof thereof demanded.
14. Denied. To the extent the allegations set forth in paragraph 14 constitute a
conclusion of law, no response is required. To the extent a response is required, it is denied that at
