Another Post-Koken Trial Court Decision Out of Philadelphia County in Favor of Severance of Claims

I have been advised of another post-Koken Case out of the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas in favor of the severance of the Plaintiff's claims against the third party tortfeasor from the claims asserted against the UIM carrier.

In the case of Schramm v. McComb and Penn National Insurance and State Auto Insurance, No. 1002 03394 (Phila. Co. May 10, 2010 Tereshko, J.), Judge Tereshko granted the preliminary objections of the tortfeasor defendants and severed the third party claims from the UIM claims and ordered separate trials.

Anyone desiring a copy of this Order (without Opinion) may contact me at dancummins@comcast.net.

Thanks to Attorney Chuck Daly of the Law Office of Charles J. Daly in Horsham, PA for bringing this case to my attention
