UNDER INSURED MOTORIST ARBITRATION Respondent PBTITION TO COMPBL ARBITRATION AND NOW COMES, the Petitioner, David C. Atkins, by and through his attorneys, Schmidt and Ronca. P.c., and sets forth as follows: 1. The Petitioner, DAVID C. ATKINS, is an adult individual residing at 4183 Cove court, Apt. 106, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055. 2. The Respondent, STATE AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY, is an insurance company duly licensed to do business in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania with its principal place of busine.. located at 4900 Ritter Road, P.O. Box 2006/ Mechanicsburg, PA 17055. 3. On or about August 24, 1992, Petitioner was the owner of a 1990 Ford Truck that was involved in a motor vehicle accident with a vehicle operated by Julie A. Deard at the intersection of Eisenhower Drive and Eichelberger Streett lIanover Borough, York county/ Pennsylvania. See police report attached as Exhibit "A." 1 4. At the time of the aforesaid motor vehicle acoident, the Petitioner resided at 8 Stephen Road, Camp Hill, Cumberland county, Pennsylvania 17011, and was an insured under a policy of automobile insurance issued by the Respondent, policy number DAP 6543316. See attached Exhibit "D." 5. As a result of the aforesaid accident, the Petitioner suffered severe and permanent injuries inoluding, but not limited to. the followingl (a) acute lumbosacral strain, with damage to assooiated musoles, nerves and ligaments1 (b) oontusion of the left knee with damage to assooiated muscles, nerves and ligaments, (0) oontusion of the chest wall, with damage to associated muscles and nerves, (d) pain radiating from the low back to left buttooks, leg and foot, (e) disc bulge and/or herniation at the L5-S1 level, (f) strain and sprain of the paracervical, upper trapezius, and shoulder muscles, with damage to associated muscles, nerves and ligaments1 (g) pain and swelling of the left forearm, and (h) Fibromyalgia syndrome. 2 6. As a result of the aforesaid aooident, the insuranoe oarrier for Julie A. Beard, state Farm Insuranoe company, offered to pay its policy limits of Fifteen Thousand ($15,000) Dollars. 7. On or about June 28, 1993, the Respondent consented to settlement and agreed to waive its subrogation rights against the tortfeasor. Sse attached Exhibit "C." 8. The Petitioner subsequently aooepted the sum of Fifteen Thousand ($15,000) Dollars and executed a general release from state Farm, but specifically preserved the right to pursue eny claims or under insured benefits from his first party carrier. See attached Exhibit "D." 9. It is belieyed and averred at the time of the aooident that Julie A. Beard was an under insured motorist. 10. While the Petitioner does not have a complste copy of the policy form, the Petitioner believes and avers that the automobile insurance policy issued by respondent contains an endorsement for under insured motorist ooverage whioh, in turn, contains an arbitration clause whioh provides for the resolution of disputes oonoerning entitlement to an amount of damages. 3 11. At the present time, there exists a dispute as to whether or not the Petitioner is leqally entitled to colleot damaqeB, and aB to the amount of thoBe damaqeB reBultinq from the motor vehiole aocident of AUqUBt 24, 1992. WHEREFORE, the Petitioner prays that the oourt issue a Rule directed to Respondent to show cause if any, why the Respond.nt should not desiqnate an arbitrator and why the matter should not prooeed to arbitration.
