Meet Jason Tenenbaum, Esq.
Jason Tenenbaum is a highly experienced attorney in the fields of no-fault insurance benefits, personal injury practice, employment law and consumer protection law, with offices in New York and Florida. Mr. Tenenbaum has written numerous articles for the New York State Law Journal involving no-fault practice and has written over 500 appeals involving no-fault issues, within the States of New York, New Jersey and Florida.
The Tenenbaum Approach
The issues Mr. Tenenbaum has tried and appealed are multi-varied and nuanced, both representing insurance companies. They involve the scope of the evidence necessary to prevail on summary judgment motions and trial as to issues of causation, medical appropriateness of the rendered services, fee schedule adherence and proof required to prima facie prove a staged loss on motion. On a more nuanced level, Mr. Tenenbaum successfully challenged at the Appellate Divisions arbitrator’s failure to consider AMA guidance in ascertaining the reimbursable amount for services, arbitrators’ adherence to the rules of evidence when the rules are significantly relaxed at an arbitration, the failure of arbitrators’ to consider evidence as to the relatedness of medical equipment to an injury and the failure of arbitrators’ to follow defined precedent involving policy based defenses.
Mr. Tenenbaum in his role as a Plaintiff attorney convinced the Appellate Division that an injured person who pays their medical billings has standing to prosecute their claim for denied medical benefits against an insurance company, notwithstanding the execution of an assignment of benefits that transferred that right to the medical provider. He also convinced the Appellate Division that an attorney fee is required for all work performed in moving to confirm a no-fault master arbitration award.
Unmatched Legal Expertise
Mr. Tenenbaum has also tried over 500 no-fault cases (both jury and non-jury) to verdict representing insurance companies and medical providers. One notable case from 2013 involved $40,000 in disputed massage therapy benefits rendered after an IME. A Kingston, New York jury found that the testimony of an injured person’s treating physician, finding that all further care would be palliative and the defense medical examiner’s testimony to be more credible than the testimony of the referring physiatrist, the massage therapist and the injured person.
Jason has also been involved with the trial and appeal of dozens of personal injury, employment and other types of matters in the Federal and State Courts of New York and Florida. One case of note was a case in Broward Couty Florida, where the insurance company ignored a letter seeking the payment of a $25,000 insurance policy limit. The Plaintiff continued to litigate and under threat of Florida’s bad faith laws, the case was settled for $1,000,000.00.
