Aries Chiropractic, P.C. v Ameriprise Ins. Co., 2019 NY Slip Op 52064(U)(App. Term 1st Dept. 2019)
I bolded the Unitrin case. The First Department has been all over the place lately. For anyone to predict how that Court will rule on anything in the no-fault universe would be engaging in an unwise prediction.
“Contrary to plaintiff’s contention, defendant’s denial of claim form did not need to set forth the dates of the EUOs for which plaintiff had failed to appear. “Had it been the intent of the Department of [Financial Services] to require the carrier to set forth [the dates of the scheduled EUOs] in the prescribed denial of claim form (see NYS Form N-F 10; 11 NYCRR 65-3.4 [c] [11]), it would have so provided” (A.B. Med. Servs., PLLC v Liberty Mut. Ins. Co., 39 AD3d 779, 780 [2007]; A.B. Med. Servs., PLLC v GEICO Cas. Ins. Co., 39 AD3d 778, 779 [2007]; cf. Unitrin Advantage Ins. Co. v All of NY, Inc., 158 AD3d 449 [1st Dept 2018]). “
