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.

Orthopedic Specialist of Greater NY v Chubb Indem. Ins. Co., 2015 NY Slip Op 50565(U)

(1) “We agree that the conflicting medical expert opinions adduced by the parties sufficed to raise a triable issue as to the medical necessity of the orthopedic surgery underlying plaintiff’s first-party no-fault claim in the sum of $3,408.11. However, defendant made a prima facie showing of entitlement to summary judgment dismissing plaintiff’s no-fault claim in the sum of $212.37, by the affidavit of its claims adjuster demonstrating that plaintiff submitted the claim beyond the 45-day time limit for submission of claims”

(2) “The affidavit of plaintiff’s office manager did not allege a personal mailing of the claim within the 45-day period or describe plaintiff’s regular office mailing practice and procedure”

It is always interesting watching the “mailing v. non-receipt” battles.
