minor, by and through her parents and
natural guardians, CHARLES and DONNA
GROVE
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY- CIVIL
DIVISION
PETITION TO APPROVE MINOR'S COMPROMISF
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
The Petition of Mandy Grove, a minor, by and through her parents and natural
guardians, Charles and Donna Grove, seeks Court approval of a settlement in favor of
their minor daughter, Mandy Grove, in support thereof, provides as follows:
1. Charles and Donna Grove are the parents and natural guardians of Mandy
Grove, a minor, age 17 (DOB: 12/20/84) (SSN: 197-66-2130) who sustained injuries on
or about February 16, 2001, as a result of being a passenger in a motor vehicle that
was involved in an accident at or near the intersection of Airport and Gilbert Roads,
Southampton Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. The minor resides with her parents and natural guardians, Chades and
Donna Grove at 100 Enola Road, P.O. Box 144, Newburg, Pennsylvania 17240.
3. According to the Police Report completed by Trooper John Lutz of the
Pennsylvania State Police Department, the minor was injured while riding as a
passenger in a vehicle heading south on Airport Road that struck the driver's side of a
vehicle being operated by Austin Myers traveling east on Gilbert Road. The vehicle
being operated by Karen Lauver did not stop for a posted stop sign and as such
proceeding into the intersection causing the accident. A true and correct copy of the
Police Report is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "A".
4. As a result of the above-mentioned accident, minor suffered injuries
consisting of a concussion and fracturesof the pelvis, clavicle and first metatarsal bone.
A copy of the York Hospital records pertaining to the evaluation, admission and
discharge of the minor are attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "B".
5. No out-of-pocket expenses have been incurred by the minor or Petitioners
with respect to the injuries sustained by Minor. There are presently no outstanding liens
or claims on behalf of any medical supplier, Medicare or Department of Public Welfare,
ERISA plan or other entity.
6. No attorney fees are being charged to Petitioner nor are the settlement
proceeds as being offered to the minor subject to a reduction for payment of attorney
fees.
7. Karen Lauver, who according to the Police reports is the party responsible
for the accident, is covered as a resident relative insured under a policy of insurance
issued by State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company to Rose Lauver. Under
the policy as issued by State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, the total
coverage available for the payment to third parties for personal injury liability is $30,000.
A true and correct copy of State Farm's Certificate of Coverage is attached hereto and
made a part hereof as Exhibit "C".
8. In addition to the injuries sustained by the minor as set forth in this
Petition, one (1) other individual who was a passenger occupant of the vehicle in which
the minor was a passenger was also injured. Specifically, this individual is Casey
Hippensteel (who sustained a concussion and facial lacerations). Additionally, the
driver of the other vehicle, namely Austin Myers sustained a fractured sternum and
fractured scapula.
9. Each of these other individuals has agreed to accept $10,000 in full and
final settlement of their respective claims. Therefore, the providing of settlement
proceeds in the amount of $10,000 each to the minor, Casey Hippensteel and Austin
Myers has resulted in a complete exhaustion of the policy limits available under the
policy of insurance issued by State Farm to Rose Lauver.
10. After discussions between the minor's parents, Charles and Donna Grove
and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, the insurance provider for
Karen Lauver, a settlement has been reached for $10,000.00. Chades and Donna
Grove as parents of minor, fully understand that the settlement of this claim releases
and forever discharges Karen Lauver and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance
Company, their heirs, executors, administrators, agents, assigns and all other persons,
firms or corporations were liable or who may be claimed to be liable as a result of the
accident of February 16, 2001.
11. Minor's parents, Charles and Donna Grove, agree to put the entire amount
of the settlement proceeds into an interest bearing account with a federally insured
financial institution until the minor turns 18 years of age.
12. Petitioners believe and therefore aver that considering the liability issues
in this case and the fact that the minor's injuries were relatively minor and have since
been resolved, the aforementioned settlement and resolution of this claim is in the best
interest and welfare of the minor.
13. In order to reduce the mutual exchange promises referred to in
Paragraphs 10 and 11 hereof to writing, Petitioners request authority to execute a
release in the form identical to that attached hereto as Exhibit "D".
WHEREFORE, Petitioners, Chades and Donna Grove, individually and on behalf
of their minor daughter, Mandy Grove, request this Honorable Court to approve the
Minor's Settlement.

natural guardian of Mandy Grove,

into a counterclockwise rotation and forced Unit # 2 off the roadway where it landed in an adjacent field
and rolled over as the vehicle turned sideways. Unit # 1 came to a final rest facing WB partially on the
EB berm of High Rd. Unit # 2 came to a final rest facing NB and on its right side.

Discharge Diagnosis:
1. Concussion.
2. Severely comminuted fracture of the pelvis involving the left acetabulum.
3. Fracture of the left clavicle.
4. Fracture of the left first metatarsal bone.
History of Present Illness: This 16-year-old girl was allegedly a restrained front seat passenger in a
motor vehicle which crashed. She was seen initially at Chambersburg Hospital where her cervical spine was
evaluated and cleared, and then transferred to York Hospital for continuing management of her multiple
injuries. She appeared to be amnestic for the event and was considered to have a concussion.
Radiographic evaluation showed the injuries enumerated above. She was admitted to the Intensive
Care Unit and placed in traction. Consulting orthopedists quickly concluded that the pelvis needed operative
management and that she was not a candidate to have that done at York. Arrangements were made to send
her to Spence Reid, M.D. at Hershey Medical Center for definitive management of this injury, and she was
transferred on the day after admission to York Hospital. Her continuing management including medications,
diet, activity and follow-up will be with the doctors at Hershey.

FACT V MUT GENO (06/14/99 ........... ., .............
Interpretation: The Factor V Leiden allele (R506Q mutation) is represented
by a single nucleotide change in the normal DNA sequence of either one or
both copies (alleles} of the factor V gene. This mutation renders the
factor V protein resistant to cleavage by activated protein C.
Heterozygotes for the Factor V Leiden allele are at 7 fold increased
relative risk for thrombosis, homozygotes are at 90-100 fold increased
relative risk. The test employs enzymatic digestion of polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) amplified DNA to detect the RS06Q mutation and is highly
accurate. Rare diagnostic errors may occur due to the presence of DNA
po lymorphi sins.
This test result or one or more of its components was developed and its
performance characteristics determined by the Molecular Diagnostics
Laboratory at York Hospital. It has not been cleared or approved by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has determined that such
clearance or approval is not necessary.
