Art of Healing Medicine, P.C. v Allstate Ins. Co. (2016 NY Slip Op 51684(U))

Headnote

The court considered the denial of plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and granting of defendant's cross motion for summary judgment in a case involving recovery of assigned first-party no-fault benefits. The main issue decided was whether plaintiff, as the assignee of an individual, was entitled to recover these benefits from the defendant insurance company. The holding was that the defendant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint was denied, effectively allowing the plaintiff to proceed with their claim to recover the no-fault benefits.
