I was beaten by a fellow blogger on the verification issue…

If you were injured due to someone else’s careless actions, we understand the challenges you may be facing. As a victim or a surviving family member, you could be dealing with the life-altering consequences of a serious accident.

I found this story a week before it was brought to life by a fellow blogger, but since the fellow blogger published it first, he gets deserved credit. the name of the case is: Infinity Health Prods., Ltd. v Eveready Ins. Co., 21 Misc.3d 1 (App. Term. 2d Dept. 2008).

This was the case involving a premature follow-up additional verification and the preclusion sanction due to this occurring. It is interesting to see the Second Dept taking up this issue. The dissenter at the Appellate Term observed other Appellate Division cases that found the sanction of preclusion unwarranted in this factual scenario. This is probably what lead the App. Div to grant leave as to this issue. As I have learned recently through personal experience in two recent matters, the App. Div. does not like to grant leave to no fault matters and does not like motions to reargue when a non-articulated argument, if properly preserved, would reverse their opinion and order.

That is the only case of interest on the horizon that i have seen lately…
