SERVICE OF CLAIM BY REGULAR MAIL VIOLATED COURT OF CLAIMS ACT SECTION 11, CLAIM PROPERLY DISMISSED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the claim in this traffic accident case was properly dismissed because it was served by regular mail:

On March 16, 2011, the claimant was driving on Sunrise Highway and, after missing his exit, attempted to cut across the strip of land separating Sunrise Highway from the exit ramp, losing control of his vehicle and sustaining injuries. After being granted permission to file a late notice of claim, the claimant served the claim on the State of New York by regular mail. The State moved for summary judgment dismissing the claim on the ground that service was improper, as it was not made in accordance with Court of Claims Act § 11. The claimant cross-moved for the court to deem its notice of claim timely served nunc pro tunc. The Court of Claims granted the motion and denied the cross motion. The claimant appeals, and we affirm.

We agree with the Court of Claims' determination to grant the State's motion for summary judgment dismissing the claim, as the claim was improperly served upon the State by regular mail rather than by personal service or certified mail as required by Court of Claims Act § 11 … . Costello v State of New York, 2018 NY Slip Op 06227, Second Dept 9-25-18
