Complete Radiology, P.C. v Progressive Ins. Co., 2012 NY Slip Op 50583(U)(App. Term 2d Dept. 2012)
“A no-fault provider establishes its prima facie entitlement to summary judgment by proof of the submission to the defendant of a claim form, proof of the fact and the amount of the loss sustained, and proof either that the defendant had failed to pay or deny the claim within the requisite 30-day period, or that the defendant had issued a timely denial of claim that was conclusory, vague or without merit as a matter of law (see Insurance Law § 5106 [a]; Westchester Med. Ctr. v Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co., 78 AD3d 1168 [2010]; Ave T MPC Corp. v Auto One Ins. Co., 32 Misc 3d 128[A], 2011 NY Slip Op 51292[U] [App Term, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2011]). Here, plaintiff’s affidavit failed to state unequivocally that defendant’s denial of claim forms were either untimely or without merit as a matter of law.”
Cases like this make AAA a lot of money.
