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

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.
BUbmitted,
P.C.
