Great Health Care Chiropractic, P.C. v Hertz Co., 2014 NY Slip Op 51814(U)(App. Term 2d Dept. 2014)
“However, defendant failed to establish its entitlement to summary judgment dismissing the complaint. Defendant denied the claim at issue based upon plaintiff’s assignor’s failure to appear for examinations under oath (EUOs) and independent medical examinations (IMEs). Defendant failed, among other things, to establish a proper practice and procedure as to the mailing of the IME scheduling notices (see St. Vincent’s Hosp. of Richmond, 50 AD3d 1123; Delta Diagnostic Radiology, P.C., 17 Misc 3d 16) and failed to submit proof by someone with personal knowledge of the nonappearance of plaintiff’s assignor for the EUOs in question (see Stephen Fogel Psychological, P.C. v Progressive Cas. Ins. Co., 35 AD3d 720 [2006]; Bright Med. Supply Co. v IDS Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co., 40 Misc 3d 130[A], 2013 NY Slip Op 51123[U] [*2][App Term, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2013]; Alrof, Inc. v Safeco Natl. Ins. Co., 39 Misc 3d 130[A], 2013 NY Slip Op 50458[U] [App Term, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2013]). As defendant failed to establish either of its defenses as a matter of law, its cross motion was properly denied.”
