Conclusory denial of receipt of IME letter is insufficient to stave off summary judgment

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.

City Care Acupuncture, PC v New York Cent. Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 2013 NY Slip Op 50430(U)(App. Term 1st Dept. 2013)

“In opposition, plaintiff did not deny the assignor’s nonappearance or otherwise raise a triable issue with respect thereto, or as to the mailing or reasonableness of the underlying notices (see Unitrin at 560). The assignor’s “denial of receipt, standing alone, is insufficient” (Badio v Liberty Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 12 AD3d 229, 230 [2004]).”

The affidavit provided to the Assignor at the medical clinic should have a little more to it then just: “I did not receive the letter”.  Just not enough.
