CIVIL ACTION -LAW
PETITION OF PLAINTIFF, LIBERTY MUTUAL FILE' INSURANCE COMPANY, FOR
COURT ORDER COMPELLING PLAINTIFF TO APPOIIVT AN ARBITRATOR OR
APPOINTING AN ARBITRATOR TTS SELF.
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company, by its attorneys,
Osborne & Rettig, PC. and files the within Petition with your Honorable Court:
Plaintiff, Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company, is a insurance company with its
principal place of business in Boston, Massachusetts and which is authorized to do business in
Pennsylvania.
2. Maxim Demchak is a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who resides
at 180 Springview Road, Carlisle, PA.
3. On or about November 7, 1999, Maxim Demchak was the operator of a vehicle
which was involved in automobile accident with Ms. Shook who was operating a separate vehicle.
4. At the time of this accident, Maxim Demchak was insured by Liberty Mutual Fire
Insurance Company. A copy of the applicable declaration page is attached hereto marked Exhibit A.
5. At the time of said accident, Ms. Shook was insured by Erie Insurance Company
with liability policy limits of $100,000.
1
6. As a result of the injures sustained in this accident, Mr. Demchak received the
$100,000 policy limits of Erie Insurance Company.
7. On or about May 27, 2004, attorney David R. Thompson representing Mr.
Demchak wrote a letter to Liberty Mutual requesting its consent to settle the claim against Ms. Shook
and indicating the fact that his client intended to pursue an underinsured coverage claim against his own
policy. A copy of that letter is attached hereto marked Exhibit B.
8. Since receipt of said letter putting Liberty Mutual on notice of Mr. Demchak's
underinsured motorist claim, counsel for Liberty Mutual and Mr. Demchak have proceeded to engage in
discovery including an examination under oath of Mr. Demchak on December 21, 2005 as well as the
deposition of his treating phsycician Dr. Ross which took place on May 4, 2006.
9. On or about May 8, 2006, the undersigned counsel wrote to Attorney Thompson
requesting some tax records for Mr. Demchak and indicating his intention to appoint an azbitrator if those
records were not timely received.
10. On May 15, 2006, the undersigned counsel again wrote to Attorney Thompson
indicating that he had appointed an arbitrator and requesting Mr. Thompson to appoint an azbitrator as
well. He was asked to do so within three weeks of the date of that letter. A redacted copy of that letter is
attached hereto marked Exhibit C.
11. The undersigned counsel again wrote Mr. Thompson on May 23, 2006 asking him
to appoint an azbitrator within the next 10 days. A copy of that letter is attached hereto marked exhibit
D.
12. The undersigned counsel again wrote to Mr. Thompson on July 12, 2006, asking
him to appoint an azbitrator within two weeks of the date of that letter. A copy of that letter is attached
hereto marked Exhibit E.
2
13. Jn addition to the above referenced letters, the undersigned counsel has called and
left messages with Attorney Thompson's office on three separate occasions since the July 12, 20061etter.
14. The undersigned counsel received a response on August 29, 2006 from Mr. Demchak's
counsel in which he mentions the name of a potential azbitrator but does not indicate whether the
potential azbitrator has agreed to serve.
15. As recently as July 5, 2006, the undersigned counsel received correspondence
from Mr. Demchak expressing his frustration in trying to resolve this UIM claim against Liberty Mutual.
16. The undersigned counsel has no idea why Mr. Demchak or his counsel has refused
to appoint an azbitrator for over three months but would like to move this matter along as readily as
possible and for that reason is requesting that the Court enter an Order appointing Steve Greecher, Jr.,
Esquire, James Goldsmith, Esquire or Steven Finour, Esquire as Mr. Demchak's azbitrator in this matter.
WHEREFORE, your Honorable Court is respectfully requested to enter an Order appointing an
arbitrator for Mr. Demchak so that this matter can proceed.
Respectfully submitted,
OSBORNE & RETTTG, P.C.

Re: Maxim Demchak vs. Liberty Mutual/Maxim Demchak et al vs. Delores Shook
No. 01-1817-CD
Dear Ms. Bruno:
Please be advised that I re erfnchak regarding a automobile
accident that occurred bac November of 1999. ns you may or may not know,
Mr. Demchak has initiated and been pursu ng an action against the tortfeaser
Delores Shook. Recently, we received an offer to settle in that case for the policy
limits of $100,000.00 on behalf of Maxim Demchak. For your information, there
are four passengers, who are Mr. Demchak's immediate family, who also have
claims against Delores Shook. The policy of insurance is through Erie Insurance
Company. The policy limits aze $100,000.00 per person/$300,000.00 per
accident.
As you may or may not be awaze, Mr. Demchak sustained serious bodily
injuries and damages that greatly exceed the policy limits of $100,000.00.
Through his policy with Liberty Mutual, he does have underinsured motorist
coverage. We do intend to pursue a claim against Liberty Mutual for that
underinsured motorist coverage.
It is necessary that we obtain consent from Liberty Mutual to settle the
claim with Delores Shook/Erie Insurance Company for the policy limits of
$100,000.00. It would be appreciated if you could contact me regazding this
matter and inform me as to any further information you will need from me to
process this consent. As you know, consent is required prior to us agreeing to
settle the matter for the policy limits due to the fact that we intend to pursue an
underinsured coverage against our own policy. RECEIVED

wish to discuss this matter, please feel free to contact me.

third arbitrator. I will then approach the arbitration paced with a request that it order Mr. I)wnchakto
sign offon a release which w371 authorize us to obtain copies ofhis full and complete income tax rdurns.
If you are Wlable to appoint an arbitrator within three wades of the date of this letter, I will
proceed to file a Petition with the Court asking the Court to appoint an arbitrator on your behalf.
We do not want to delay this case any further. Thus, eves though we have made an offer, l swi
expect to hear from you within three weeks either accepting the offs or appointing an arbitrator. Thank

Dear Dave:

Thanks for your recent ldter. I do not believe my client is intemsted in paying Mr. Demchalc to
obtain copies of his records. If Mr. Demehak is willing to sign the Authorizations that I previously
forwarded, we will then obtain and pay for the records.
I have appointed Jim Nealon as our arbitrator I would ask that you appoint an arbitrator within
the next 10 days. I do intend to approach the arbitration panel to request an order compelling your client
to sign off on the Authorizations.
Best regards.

Dear Dave:

WRITER'S EMAII, ADDRESS:
Jrettie(a~hoslawpacom
Last week your client dropped off at my office a copy of his 1999 Schedule C and D. I had
understood that he was not going to obtain these but I am glad we now have them.
Several weeks ago, I advised you that
I had appointed an arbitrator, Jim Nealon. I had asked you to appoint an arbitrator promptly. As of this
point in time, I have not received word of your appointment of an arbitrator,
We remain anxious to move this case forward. Please appoint an arbitrator within two weeks of
the date of this letter. Thank you.
