Respondent
PETITION FOR APPOINTMENT OF ARBITRATOR
AND NOW comes Jayme Cashman and Barton Cashman, by and through the
undersigned counsel, Lavery, Faherty, Young & Patterson, P.c., who petitions this Honorable
Court as follows:
I. The Petitioners, Jayme Cashman and Barton Cashman, are adult individuals
residing at 4808 Virginia Road, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17050.
2. The Respondent, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company [hereinafter
"State Farm"], is licensed to transact business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
regularly conducts business within Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, with a principal place of
business located at 555 Southpointe Blvd., Suite 400, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania 15317.
3. On September 11, 2004, the Petitioners were involved in a serious motor vehicle
collision, as a result of which serious injuries were sustained by both Petitioners.
4. On September 17, 2004, the Petitioners placed the Respondent on notice of an
underinsured motorists [hereinafter "UIM"] claim. [A copy of the letter dated September 17,
2004 is attached hereto as Exhibit" A"].
5. On March 10, 2005, the Petitioners demanded the VIM policy limits from
Respondent. [A copy of the March 10,2005 letter is attached hereto as Exhibit "B"].
6. The Respondent responded to the settlement demand with an insulting offer.
7. On March 22, 2005, the Petitioners sent a letter to Respondent stating that
Attorney Timothy Shollenberger was appointed as Petitioners' arbitrator and it should appoint an
arbitrator within (10) days. [A copy of the March 22, 2005 letter is attached hereto as Exhibit
1. Is the insured legally entitled to collect compensatory damages
from the owner or driver of an uninsured motor vehicle or
underinsured motor vehicle; and
2. Ifso, in what amount?
"e"].
8. The Respondent failed to appoint an arbitrator within ten (10) days.
9. The UIM endorsement of the State Farm policy states, in part, the following with
respect to arbitration:
Two questions must be decided by agreement between the insured and us:
If there is no agreement, these two questions shall be decided by
arbitration at the request of the insured or us. The arbitrators' decision
shall be limited to these two questions. The arbitrators shall not award
damages under this policy which are in excess of the limits of liability of
this coverage as shown on the declarations page. The Pennsylvania
Arbitration Act of 1927 shall apply.
Each party shall select a competent arbitrator. These two shall select a
competent and impartial third arbitrator...
[A copy ofthe UIM Endorsement is attached hereto as Exhibit "D"].
I O. The Petitioners demand arbitration.
11. Petitioners believe and therefore aver that Rolf E. Kroll, Esq., who is a well-
qualified attorney regularly involved in insurance defense work and has served as defense
counsel for State Farm, is a fair and valid choice of arbitrators to represent the defense position
in this matter.
12. Petitioners have incurred attorneys' fees and costs in the filing and service of the
instant Petition and such costs should be paid by State Farm.
WHEREFORE, Petitioners, Jayroe Cashman and Barton Cashman, respectfully request
this Honorable Court appoint Rolf E. Kroll as defense arbitrator in this matter and order
Respondent to pay the Petitioners' attorneys' fees and costs incurred as a result of filing and

My clients have received the PIP applications and they will promptly complete them and
return them to you.

Re: Jayme and Barton Cashman v. Ryan Barrow and Alexander MacDonald
Your Insureds: Jayme and Barton Cashman
Your Claim Number: 38K512368
D/OfL: 9/11/04
I have enclosed the additional records you requested:
Dear Ms. Tessmer:
I am in receipt of Mr. Graham's letter dated March 2, 2005. I only have The Critical
Hour in DVD format. If your State Farm office does not have a DVD player, perhaps someone
can bring it home to view it. If that is not an option, State Farm can send it out to be copied on
VHS format.
1) Current photographs ofJayme's tongue
2) Current photographs of the "bald spot" on Barton's head
3) Current photographs ofthe scars on Barton's arm and shoulder
4) Jayme's medical records from Dr. Rose Eskin
5) Barton's medical records from Cumberland Orthopedic & Spine PT
6) Copy of executed Release for claim with GEICO
You will read in Dr. Eskin's records in the office note of October 14, 2004, that J ayme's
menstrual cycle and ovulation period changed after the accident. These notes also verify the
tongue bite trauma sustained in the accident. This certainly will affect her ability to conceive
and exacerbate her condition of infertility.
There is no question that both Barton and Jayme's claims exceed the value of $70,000
each. Accordingly, we demand that you immediately issue payment for the $100,000 in policy
limits available under my clients' DIM coverage. Please respond to this demand within ten (10)
days.

Re: Jayme and Barton Caslnnan v. Ryan Barrow and Alexander MacDonald
Y OUT Insureds: J ayme and Barton Caslnnan
Your Claim Number: 38K512368
D/O/L: 9/11/04
Dear Ms. Tessmer:
I am in receipt of Mr. Graham's letter dated March 15,2005. Your offer to settle Jayme's
claim in the amount of $2,435.45 is rejected. Both of my clients' claims clearly exceed the DIM
policy limits and my clients certainly have not been adequately compensated by payment of the
tortfeasor's limits.
The photographs provided show you the permanent damage to Jayme's tongue and the
scarring Barton has on his head and his shoulder and arm. The photographs are of Jayme's
tongue and Barton's shoulder and arm. We provided you with the original photographs.
Continued requests on your part for additional information that has already been provided is
merely a delay tactic and can be considered bad faith.
You again ask if there are any out-of-pocket medical expenses. At this point, I have no
clue what State Farm has paid and what my clients will ultimately be required to pay out-of-
pocket. I do know that State Farm continues to deny the medical bills incurred by Jayme for the
surgery and hospital treatment she had at Holy Spirit as a direct result of the traumatic bite
injuries sustained to her tongue. It is ridiculous for you to continue to deny that the surgery and
tongue trauma is not related to the accident since Dr. Levin clearly states that it is related. The
hospital records also verify the chest and lung trauma sustained by Jayme in the accident, which
led to her poor oxygenation levels during and after surgery. Jayme now has a speech
impediment that did not exist prior to the accident and this is solely related to the tongue bite
trauma sustained in the accident.
I personally tested the DVD that was sent to you of The Critical Hour and it worked fine.
r don't understand why it's not playing for you. I have enclosed another copy of the DVD, which
EXHIBIT
I c
Page 2
again I personally tested. You will note that the doctor does verifY in this program that Bart's
"bald spot" was caused by the accident. By copy of your letter and this letter to my clients, I will
ask Bart to secure a statement from his doctor indicating that his "bald spot" is not male pattern
baldness but a result of his head skidding on the pavement, leaving chucks of skin and hair on
the road. Perhaps yon need to speak to the independent witness for details.
Since it is obvious that you are not going to be reasonable, I have no choice but to
proceed with UIM arbitration. Yon have not made a reasonable offer in this case when the
evidence clearly indicates my clients' claims far exceed $140,000 (the total of the tortfeasor and
UIM limits).
Please be advised that we have selected Timothy Shollenberger, Esq. of Shollenberger &
JanuZzi as our arbitrator. His address is 2225 Millenium Way, Enola, PA 17025. His phone
number is (717) 728-3200: Please either pay the policy limits of $100,000 or appoint an
arbitrator within ten (10) days. Otherwise, we will file a Petition for Appointment of an
Arbitrator in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County.
Sincerely,
Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or comments. Thank you.
