PLEASE NOTE THE FIRM'S PERMANENT ADDRESS HAS CHANGED TO 326 WALT WHITMAN RD SUITE C, HUNTINGTON STATION NY 11746

Another less than valid verification compliance affidavit suffices

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.

Compas Med., P.C. v Praetorian Ins. Co.,2015 NY Slip Op 51699(U)(App. Term 2d Dept. 2015)

However, in opposition to the cross motion, plaintiff submitted an affidavit from plaintiff’s owner, which affidavit was sufficient to give rise to a presumption that the requested verification had been mailed to, and received by, defendant (see Residential Holding Corp. v Scottsdale Ins. Co., 286 AD2d 679 [2001]). In light of the foregoing, there is a triable issue of fact as to whether this cause of action is premature (see Healing Health Prods., Inc. v New York Cent. Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 44 Misc 3d 59 [App Term, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2014]).

I read the affidavit.  There is nothing except boilerplate about submitting verification responses to the carrier.  Noteworthy, there is nothing provided showing wen the verification was mailed and what was mailed.  Why?  It never happened.  I would hope after seeing the same affidavit, this Court would wake up and ask themselves why they are reversing close to 100 matters where judges found the plaintiff affidavit to be deficient.  One day someone on the 15th floor will get it.
