TAM Med. Supply Corp. v Country Wide Ins. Co., 2018 NY Slip Op 50578(U)(App. Term 2d Dept. 2018)
“Although the accident occurred in Pennsylvania, the NF-2 form annexed to defendant’s cross motion states that plaintiff’s assignor resides in Bronx County. As a result, defendant’s cross motion for summary judgment should have been denied, because defendant failed to establish, as a matter of law, that plaintiff’s assignor is not an eligible injured person (see 11 NYCRR § 65-1.1 [d]).”
What probably happened here is that the Assignor was a stranger to the policy and Defendant tried to articulate that since the MVA occurred in PA and (arguably?) the EIP lived outside NY, there would be no coverage. This would be a valid coverage defense if the facts played as out as above. But… they did not.
