Recent Post-Koken Decisions Out of Berks County Favor Plaintiffs

I was recently notified of two (2) Orders issued last year overruling Preliminary Objections in post-Koken Berks County cases seeking to dismiss or sever UIM claims from third party claims in matters in which no bad faith was alleged. Both decisions were issued by Judge Timothy J. Rowley.

The one (1) decision was in the case of Snyder v. Spang and Erie Insurance Exchange, No. 19-05048 (C.P. Berks Co. July 26, 2019 Rowley, J.).

The other decision was issued in the case of Franco v. Walter and Erie Insurance Exchange, No. 19-15873 (C.P. Berks Co. Oct. 7, 2019 Rowley, J.).

I send thanks to Attorney Barrie B. Gehrlein of the Wyomissing, PA law office of Johnson, Duffy, Stewart & Weidner for bringing this case to my attention.
