JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
DEFENDANTS' ANSWER TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
AND NOW, come the Defendants, Giant Food Stores, LLC and Giant Food Stores, Inc., by
and through their attorneys, MARTSON LAW OFFICES, and answer Plaintiffs Complaint as
follows:
1. After reasonable investigation, Defendant is without knowledge or information
sufficient to form a belief as to the truth or falsity of the averments in this paragraph.
2. Admitted.
3. Denied. Defendant, Giant Food Stores, Inc., is not a proper party to this action. Giant
Food Stores, Inc. was a predecessor in interest to Giant Food Stores, LLC.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted to the extent that the warehouse was owned and operated by Giant Food
Stores, LLC.
6. Admitted that an unidentified employee of Defendant was involved in a minor
incident. Defendant does not know the identity of this employee since Ms. Ott indicated that she was
okay immediately following the accident and mentioned neither the accident nor complaints of pain,
when she returned to the premises five days later. Consequently, employee time sheets for the day
of the accident were only obtained when the Writ of Summons was filed, approximately two years
after this minor incident. The remaining averments in the paragraph are denied pursuant to Pa.
R.C.P. 1029(e).
7. Denied pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1029(e).
8. Denied. The averments in this paragraph constitute conclusions of law to which no
response is required. To the extent it is judicially determined that a response hereto is necessary, the
same is denied pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1029(e).
9. Denied. The averments in this paragraph constitute conclusions of law to which no
response is required. To the extent it is judicially determined that a response hereto is necessary, the
same is denied pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1029(e).
10. Denied pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1029(e).
11. Denied pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1029(e).
12. Admitted.
13. Denied pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1029(e).
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests this Honorable Court dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint with
prejudice and enter judgment in Defendant's favor with an award of such costs, interest and other
relief as the Court deems just and reasonable.

NO. 05-2117
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
: JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE
1. A Complaint was filed on March 20, 2007, by Plaintiff against Defendants for an
alleged injury which occurred on May 23, 2003, when Plaintiff was inspecting strawberries at a
Giant warehouse while an employee for the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
2. Extensive discovery has been done in this matter and it was scheduled for mediation
on May 5, 2009.
3. The mediation conference was canceled at the request of Plaintiff's attorney because
he could not secure an employee of the Commonwealth to attend on that date.
4. Defendants have been unsuccessful in getting the mediation conference rescheduled
and therefore request a Status Conference with the Court to establish discovery and expert deadlines,
and a plan to get this matter to trial.
5. Opposing counsel concurs with said request.
6. No judge has entered any orders. Therefore, Defendants are unaware if a judge has
been assigned to this matter.
WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully requests that the Court enter an Order scheduling
a Status Conference for the above case and granting any and all such additional relief as the Court
deems appropriate.

10. Despite Dr. VanSant's evaluation of Plaintiff, Proposed Intervenor has continued to
pay Plaintiff for her treatment for degenerative and congenital conditions.
11. Now, after years of payments for treatment which Proposed Intervenor's own
physician stated were unrelated to the incident on May 23, 2003, Proposed Intervenor refuses to
compromise its alleged lien.
12. Proposed Intervenor's refusal to compromise its lien has limited the ability of the
principal parties to negotiate a resolution of this litigation.
13. Therefore, in the interest of judicial economy, Proposed Intervenor should be joined
as an intervening plaintiff in this matter.
14. Proposed Intervenor should be required to file the attached Petition to Intervene. A
copy of the Petition to Intervene is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
15. The Honorable .nudge Guido has previouslybeen assigned to the above-captioned case
for several matters.
16. Counsel for Plaintiff, Philip Cosentino, concurs in the requested relief but not in all
the allegations of the Petition.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Giant Food Stores, LLC's Petition to Join should be granted, and
the Commonwealth ofPennsylvania, Department ofAgriculture, should be required to file a Petition
to Intervene.

PABWC Claim # 2518823
Claim
Page 1 of 3
RECORD:
1. The record shows that Claimant received compensation for total disability at a
weekly compensation rate of $446.21 based upon an average weekly wage of $669.38 for
a work-related lower back injury that occurred in the course and scope of her employment
on May 23, 2003.
2. By Order dated March 3, 2004, this Judge granted Claimant's Claim Petition
pursuant to a Stipulation by the parties. The Stipulation specifically provided that
indemnity was paid through October 13, 2003, the date the Defendant's examining
physician opined that Claimant's ongoing medical problems were unrelated to her work-
related injury. The issue of Claimant's ongoing disability beyond October 13, 2003, is
still pending before this Judge.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. Claimant testified that on May 23, 2003, she was standing at a pallet of
strawberries conducting an inspection when a forklift operator attempted to move more
pallets of strawberries to where she was standing, thereby pinning her between the
pallets. Claimant stated she felt a good jolt.
2. She immediately notified the on-site supervisor of the incident, and then notified
her supervisor the following Tuesday, the next workday after the holiday weekend.
Claimant further testified that her pain continued to increase so she began treating with
her family doctor and panel provider, Shippensburg Family Practice, who took her off
work.
3. Claimant presented the deposition testimony of her treating physician, Dr. Arthur
Horn. Dr. Horn is Board-certified in Pain Management, Board-eligible in Physical
Medicine and recognized in Maryland as a Specialist in Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation. Dr. Horn testified that he first treated Claimant on June 30, 2003 for low
back pain. Dr. Horn farther testified that, after reviewing diagnostic tests including x-
rays and MRis, he diagnosed her with disc herniations at L4-5 and L5-S1, and with
spondylolistheses at L3-4. Dr. Horn opined that Claimant's diagnoses were causally
related to her work injury, and released her to sedentary work.
4. Dr. Horn testified that when he treated Claimant every 4-6 weeks after the initial
Diane Ott
PABWC Claim # 2518823
Claim
Page 2 of3
visit, Claimant's condition continued to improve. When he examined Claimant on
October 23, 2003, however, 10 days after Dr. VanSant's examination, Dr. Horn opined.
that Dr. VanSant's examination exacerbated her symptoms, resulting in nerve root
irritation.
5. Defendant presented the rebuttal testimony of Dr. Alan VanSant, Board Certified
in Electrodiagnostic Medicine, who examined Claimant on October 13, 2003. After
reviewing Claimant's history and diagnostic test results, Dr. VanSant opined that
Claimant experienced a low back contusion on May 23, 2003 that had totally resolved
although she exhibited ongoing symptom magnification. He further opined that
Claimant's present symptoms and diagnoses were related to her unrelated 1992 back
surgery and degenerative changes.
6. Claimant testified credibly. The history and symptoms she related to Dr. Horn and
Dr. VanSant were consistent. Her symptoms were corroborated by diagnostic testing..
Despite continuing pain and work restrictions, she returned to work at a position much
less challenging than her time of injury job. This Judge accepts as fact Claimant's
credible testimony.
7. Dr. VanSant performed a Section 314 examination of Claimant on October 13,
2003. He diagnosed a fully resolved contusion caused by a work-related injury on May
23, 2003. His diagnosis was inconsistent with Claimant's medical history and. her
diagnostic test results. Therefore, I find Dr. VanSant's.testimony to be equivocal and of
no value. Moreover, in the course of his examination, Dr. VanSant utilized draconian
procedures that exacerbated Claimant's condition.
8. Dr. Horn has treated Claimant regularly, beginning less than one month after the
work accident occurred, and has weighed her current condition. against her surgical
history, the absence of intervening symptomology, and present diagnostic test results.
Therefore, I find Dr. Horn's testimony to be unequivocal and credible that Claimant's
present diagnoses and disabilities are casually related to her work related accident of May
23, 2003. I specifically find that the exacerbation Claimant experienced after Dr.
VanSant's examination to be causally related to her work-related, injury, and the ongoing
treatment flowing there from to be compensable.
9. Claimant offered her twenty percent (20%) Fee Agreement, which this Judge
approves, which includes a twenty percent (20%) fee on all unpaid medical bills.
10. Claimant further offered cost exhibits totaling $1,606.21.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The parties are bound by the provisions of the Pennsylvania Workers'
Compensation Act, as amended.
2. To prevail in a Claim Petition, the Claimant has the burden of proving a disabling
injury occurred in the course and scope of employment. In a Claim Petition, the burden
is on the Claimant to establish all the elements necessary to support an award, including
the proof of a causal relationship between the Claimant's injury. and his or her disability.
The Claimant has an ongoing burden of proving the injury continues to cause disability
throughout the pendency of the Claim Petition proceedings. A Claimant establishes
ongoing disability with unequivocal medical evidence.
3. The parties stipulated that Claimant sustained a work related injury in the course
and scope of employment on May 23, 2003 injuring her lower back through the date of
Dr. VanSant's Section 314 examination. While Dr. VanSant opined that Claimant had
fully recovered from her work-related injury by October 13, 2003 when he examined her,
Dr. Vansant's testimony is equivocal and not credible. Dr. Horn, however, credibly and
unequivocally opined that Claimant has not recovered form her work-related injury, in
part due to the exacerbating examination conducted by Dr. VanSant.
ORDER:
AND NOW on this 17a' day of December 2004, Claimant's Claim Petition is
hereby granted, with benefits reinstated at the rate of $446.21 per week from October 13,
2003, ongoing until ordered otherwise. Ten percent (10%) interest on both compensation
and medical benefits is awarded.. against Defendant. Twenty percent (2(%) of said
compensation and unpaid medical benefits shall be deducted and mailed directly to Fred
Hait, Esquire, as Claimant's attorney. Defendant shall also pay Claimant's costs of
litigation totaling $1,606.21, payable to Fred Hait, Esquire, who advanced the costs.
