"
3. Your Petitioners are parents and natural guardians of TAYLOR

Petitioners.
4. Petitioners' minor was injured in an auto/pedestrian accident that

5. At the aforesaid time and place, Petitioners' minor was crossing
Hanover Street in the crosswalk in front of Lamberton Grade School at
approximately 7:40 a.m. at which time the Respondent, Robert Goril was traveling

both legs, requiring surgery with the placement of metal rods in both legs.
7. Immediately prior to the accident, Petitioner, Lisa Koch had dropped
Petitioners' minor off for school and as Petitioners' minor was crossing the
crosswalk, Petitioner, Lisa Koch heard the squeal of brakes and heard a loud
-thud." Petitioner, Lisa Koch helped Petitioners' minor out of the street by
- 2 -
.'
dragging him off the street fearful that he would be hit by other vehicles.
Petitioner, Lisa Koch was emotionally distraught from viewing this accident and
accordingly has a cause of action on her own for negligent infliction of emotional
distress. Sn. JIlelfv. Lasso, _ Pa. Super. _.555 A.2d 1304 (1989).
8. As a direct result of the aforesaid accident, Petitioners' minor
underwent surgery of both legs with a placement of metal rods; underwent
physical therapy; was unable to participate in sporting activities; suffered a
refracture in the ApriVMay 1995 time period merely from twisting his leg; had
surgery again in July 1995 to remove the metal rods from his leg; and, is
presently undergoing physical therapy.
9. As a direct result of the aforesaid accident, Petitioners' minor has
four (4) large scars on his leg from both surgeries which scarring condition is
permanent.
10. That while the Defendant has denied responsibility and liability for
the accident. his liability insurance carrier, Pennsylvania National Insurance
Company (PNIl has agreed to pay a settlement on behalf of Petitioners' minor in
the amount of $100.000 which amount is the ResDondent's Dolicv limits of his
.3.
automobile insurance in exchange for a Joint Tortfeasor Release which is attacht!d
hereto as Exhibit "A". Petitioner, Lisa Koch. individually, is not claiming any
portion of the $100,000 settlement for her claim of negligent infliction of Amotional

remaining amount, approximately $18.000 has been submitted to the Petitioners'
health care provider, Blue CrossIBlue Shield. Ofthe amount of bills processed by

have been submitted to Blue CrossIBlue Shield in an amount of $5,500 and Blue
CrossIBlue Shield has not determined how much of this amount will be covered by
insurance. Therefore, it is possible that a portion of the $5,500 will be owed by
Petitioners. Considering the amount that is now owed directly by Petitioners
($3,591.71) and amounts that may be owed in the near future, it is requested that
a total of $5,000 of the settlement monies be paid to Petitioners for payment of
medical bills for treatment of Petitioners' minor.

REI Taylor Koch
Dear Mr. Dowling,
We have examined Taylor Koch and determined that he is in need of
orthodontic treatment. He can be treated essentially aA a full
treatment case, which would take approximately two years. The
total fee for everything done in our office, including retainers,
would bp. $4800.00. We could also do him in Phases, Phase I would
be about six months and the initial cost would be $1500.00. Phase
II would take about six months and the cost would approximately be
the same. Phase III would probably take six months to one year
and the cost would be determined based on what was left to be
done. As you know, by doing him in phases the cost could escalate
higher then the $4800.00 that we were quoting as a full treatment
case based on todays fee' s. .
Please advise as to how you would like us to treat him and what
further info~on you may need from us. As always, please feel
free t,~ cal. ....__
and Mrs. Koch
