Willey IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNA NO. 13 -5075 v. CIVIL ACTION — LAW TAIME A. WILLEY, Defendant PETITION FOR RULE TO SHOW CAUSE WHY INSURANCE PROCEEDS SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO BE PAID INTO COURT AND NOW, comes Petitioner, Erie Insurance Exchange, through its attorneys, Johnson, Duffie, Stewart & Weidner, and files this Petition for Rule to Show Cause why insurance proceeds should not be permitted to be paid into Court, and in support thereof avers as follows: 1. The Petitioner, Erie Insurance Exchange ( "Erie "), is an insurance company that conducts business throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 2. Respondent, Kyle D. Gregory, is an adult individual residing at 852 Lindsey Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17015. 3. Respondent, Jessica E. Stevick, is an adult individual residing at 852 Lindsey Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17015. 4. Respondent, Julia M. Smith, is an adult individual residing at 217 Greenfield Estates, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17015. 5. Respondent, Rachelle A. Cuff, is an adult individual residing at 245 Florida Avenue, Shenandoah, Pennsylvania 17976, Upon information and belief, Ms. Cuff is the parent and /or natural guardian of Nicholas Ryan, a minor. 6. Respondent, Janelle Cuff, is an adult individual residing at 47 Weston Place, Shenandoah, Pennsylvania 17976. Upon information and belief, Janelle Cuff is the parent and /or natural guardian of Christopher Cuff, a minor. 7. This case arises out of an auto accident that occurred on October 15, 2011 at the intersection of Route 55 and Morea Road in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. 8. At the time of the accident, Taime A. Willey was driving a 2004 Saturn. Respondents Gregory, Stevick and Smith were all passengers in her vehicle. 9. Respondent, Rachelle A. Cuff, was the driver of the second vehicle involved in the accident. Minors Nicholas Ryan and Christopher Cuff were passengers in her vehicle. 10. • At the time of the accident, Ms. Willey was an Erie insured under a automobile liability policy number 201 - 650706600. 11. The police report indicates that Ms. Willey made a left-hand turn in front of the oncoming vehicle being driven by Rachelle A. Cuff, resulting in an accident (See Exhibit "A "). 12. On August 28, 2013, a Writ of Summons was filed on behalf of Plaintiffs /Respondents Gregory, Stevick and Smith against Defendant Taime A. Willey (See Exhibit "B "). 13. At this point, that is the only lawsuit arising out of the October 15, 2011 accident. 14. Respondent Rachelle A. Cuff, driver of the second vehicle that struck Ms. Willey's car as it turned in front of her, has not made a claim for personal injuries arising out of this accident, nor has she filed any Complaint within the applicable statute of limitations. 15. Additionally, no claims have been made on behalf of the two minor children -- Christopher Cuff and Nicholas Ryan -- who were passengers in her vehicle at the time of the accident. 16. Upon information and belief, Christopher Cuff's date of birth was March 21, 2005; Nicholas Ryan's date of birth was August 24, 2005. 17. Erie Insurance and undersigned counsel have made efforts to contact Rachelle Cuff and Janelle Cuff, the parents and /or guardians of minors Ryan and Cuff respectively, to determine whether they sustained any injuries in the crash. 18. To date, neither undersigned counsel nor Erie have received any information suggesting that either of the minor passengers sustained compensable injuries in the crash, despite having, on multiple occasions, requested any such information from the parents and /or guardians of the children. 19. Accordingly, upon information and belief, Erie is not aware of any claim for personal injuries that could be made on behalf of minors Christopher Cuff or Nicholas Ryan for benefits under the Erie automobile liability policy covering Defendant Taime Willey. 20. Erie's policy of insurance covering Ms. Willey contains provisions relating to Erie's payment of any legal obligations that may be imposed upon its insured resulting from accidents such as the one described in this Petition. 21. Erie's policy covering Ms. Willey has limits of $100,000. 22. Erie has made a good faith effort to analyze the various claims, exposures and potential obligations of its insured as a result of this accident, and believes that the entire $100,000 in coverage should be made available to Plaintiffs /Respondents Gregory, Stevick and Smith, all of whom are represented by the Handler, Henning & Rosenberg law firm. 23. Erie is filing this Petition in good faith and not in collusion with any of the Respondents listed herein. 24. Erie is requesting that it be permitted to pay into Court its limits of $100,000 in return for an Order discharging Erie of any and all indemnity obligations under the policy of insurance arising from this accident. 25. While the policy for insurance permits Erie to cease its defense obligations once payment of the $100,000 is made, Erie is not at this time seeking a dismissal of its defense obligations to Ms. Willey in the event that payment of the $100,000 policy limits is permitted. 26. Erie claims no interest in the money in controversy and Petitioner further believes that it is in the best interest of the Respondents that it pay the policy limits at issue into the Court, which it is willing and able to do, and have the Court distribute the funds equitably among all Respondents who are making claims and /or will make claims against Erie's insured in connection with this accident. WHEREFORE, Petitioner Erie Insurance Exchange requests that this Court issue a Rule upon Respondents to show cause why Petitioner should not be permitted to pay its policy limits into the Court; and also setting forth a deadline for Respondents Rachelle Cuff and Janelle Cuff, as parents and /or guardians of minors Nicholas Ryan and Christopher Cuff, to file a statement of claim in connection with the subject accident or be forever barred from bringing any future claims against Erie arising out of this accident.

Stevick, and Julia M. Smith (jointly, "Plaintiffs"), by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby file this Joint Answer to the petitioner, Erie Insurance Exchange's ("Erie") Petition for Rule to Show Cause Why Insurance Proceeds Should Not be Permitted to be Paid Into Court. 1. Admitted. 2. Admitted. 3. Admitted in part, denied in part. Ms. Stevick currently resides at 76 Smith Road, Gardners, Pennsylvania 17324. 4. Admitted. 5. Denied. After reasonable investigation Plaintiffs are without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments in this paragraph. 6. Denied. After reasonable investigation Plaintiffs are without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments in this paragraph. 7. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is believed that this crash occurred at the intersection of Route 54 and Morea Road, not Route 55. 8. Admitted. 9. Admitted. 10. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted only that Ms. Willey was insured with Erie. After reasonable investigation Plaintiffs are without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the remaining averments in this paragraph. 11. Admitted. 12. Admitted. 13. Admitted. 14. Denied. After reasonable investigation Plaintiffs are without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments in this paragraph. 15.

After reasonable investigation Plaintiffs are without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments in this paragraph. 22. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that the entire $100,000.00 in coverage should be made available to Plaintiffs through their law firm Handler, Henning, and Rosenberg. Based upon numerous discussions with both Erie and Erie's counsel, Plaintiffs believe that neither Christopher Cuff nor Nicholas Ryan have a valid personal injury claim against Ms. Willey. Moreover, as Rachelle Cuff has not made a claim for personal injuries arising from the October 15, 2011, crash prior to the expiration of the Statute of Limitations, she is prevented at this late date from doing so. Accordingly, because of the seriousness of the injuries suffered by each of the three plaintiffs, the lack of adequate insurance coverage to compensate each of the plaintiffs for their injuries, and the fact that no other party in the crash has presented an injury claim in over 2.5 years (despite numerous requests from Erie to do so), Plaintiffs are of the position that the Court should allow Erie to pay the entire $100,000 to Plaintiffs as compensation for their injuries. If respondents Rachelle Cuff and Janelle Cuff, as parents and/or guardians of minors Nicholas Ryan and Christopher Cuff do not file a response to the Court's May 2, 2014, Order, in an effort to conserve judicial resources, Plaintiffs do not believe that Court intervention is needed, and funds can be disbursed from Erie to Plaintiffs' counsel. After reasonable investigation Plaintiffs are without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the remaining averments in this paragraph. 23. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted only that Erie did not collude with Plaintiffs prior to filing its petition. After reasonable investigation Plaintiffs are without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the remaining averments in this paragraph. 24. The allegations of this paragraph do not require a response by Plaintiffs. To the extent that a response is required, Plaintiffs reiterate their response to Paragraph 22 in that the Court should permit Erie to pay its limits of $100,000 directly to Plaintiffs, through their counsel. 25. The allegations of this paragraph do not require a response by Plaintiffs. 26. The allegations of this paragraph do not require a response by Plaintiffs. To the extent that a response is required, Plaintiffs reiterate their response to Paragraph 22 in that the Court should permit Erie to pay its limits of $100,000 directly to Plaintiffs, through their counsel. WHEREFORE, plaintiffs Kyle D. Gregory, Jessica E. Stevick, and Julia M. Smith jointly request that this Court issue an order directing Erie to pay its policy limits in whole to Plaintiffs through their attorneys.
