Bath Ortho Supply, Inc. v New York Cent. Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 2012 NY Slip Op 50271(U)(App. Term 1st Dept. 2012)
The defendant insurer made a prima facie showing of entitlement to summary judgment dismissing the action for first-party no-fault benefits by establishing that it properly mailed the notices for an examination under oath (EUO) to plaintiff’s assignor, and that the assignor failed to appear (see Unitrin Advantage Ins. Co. v Bayshore Physical Therapy, PLLC, 82 AD3d 559, 560 [2011], lv denied 17 NY3d 705 [2011]; cf. Stephen Fogel Psychological, P.C. v Progressive Cas. Ins. Co., 35 AD3d 720 [2006]).
A cf to Fogel and a nod to the proposition that correspondence sent to an assignor and an assignor only is sufficient to apply the rule of Unitrin.
More importantly, EUO’s apply to Unitrin.
