NEGLIGENCE AND GROSS NEGLIGENCE CAUSES OF ACTION AGAINST AN ACTUARY FOR AN INSOLVENT WORKERS’ COMPENSATION TRUST PROPERLY SURVIVED MOTIONS TO DISMISS (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department determined several motions to dismiss were properly denied in this action concerning an insolvent workers’ compensation trust. Defendant Regnier provided actuarial services and prepared certain actuarial reports on an annual basis for the trust. In addition to many other causes of action not summarized here, the Third Department held that the negligence and gross negligence causes of action properly survived:

​

We reject Regnier’s assertion that the negligence and gross negligence claims should have been dismissed in their entirety because plaintiff failed to allege that it owed the trust a duty of care. “[A]n actuary, possessing special knowledge, can be held liable for the negligent performance of its services” … . The second amended complaint alleged that Regnier held itself out as a skilled and competent actuary, that Regnier prepared actuarial reports to the trust, and that Regnier failed to provide competent actuarial services. More critically, the second amended complaint further alleged that Regnier knew that the trust would be relying on the accuracy of such reports and that Regnier was aware that its services were employed to represent the trust’s finances. Under these circumstances and viewing the allegations in a light most favorable to plaintiff, we conclude that there were sufficient allegations of near privity to survive a motion to dismiss with respect to the negligence and gross negligence claims … . New York State Workers’ Compensation Bd. v Program Risk Mgt., Inc., 2017 NY Slip Op 08426, Third Dept 11-30-17
