V.

ERIE INSURANCE EXCHANGE No. 1100 WDA 2021 Appellant Appeal from the Order Entered May 25, 2021 In the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County Civil Division at No(s): GD 20-007753

BEFORE: PANELLA, P.J., BENDER, P.J.E., BOWES, J., LAZARUS, J., STABILE, J., KUNSELMAN, J., NICHOLS, J., McLAUGHLIN, J., and KING, J.

CONCURRING STATEMENT BY PANELLA, P.J.: FILED: NOVEMBER 30, 2022

Irespectfully concur with the result reached by the majority although I do not join in the opinion. Ireach this conclusion, which is different from the relief Igrant in the related case, Ungarean eta/v. CNA et al, Nos. 490 WDA 2021 & 948 WDA 2021 ( Pa. Super. 2022), because these cases, in which the Court must address coverage issues, are fact intensive matters which require, in each case, a review of the individual policy. We must base our decision solely on the policy's language. Therefore, Iwrite separately to highlight that our review of MacMiles's claims is restricted to the " specific terms employed" in Erie's policy. See Harleysville Ins. Cos. v. Aetna Cas & Sur. Ins. Co., 795 A.2d 383, 387 ( Pa. 2002).

Judges Lazarus, Kunselman, and Nichols join this concurring statement.
