Civil Procedure, Evidence, Insurance Law

THE PETITION SEEKING LEAVE TO COMMENCE AN ACTION AGAINST THE MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT INDEMNIFICATION CORPORATION (MVAIC) IN THIS PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT CASE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DISMISSED WITHOUT A HEARING, THERE WERE QUESTIONS OF FACT ABOUT WHETHER THE NOTICE CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE ACTION WERE MET (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined this pedestrian accident action seeking coverage by the Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification Corporation (MVAIC) should not have been dismissed without a hearing:

A petitioner seeking leave of court to commence an action against the MVAIC has the initial burden of demonstrating that he or she is a “[q]ualified person” within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5202 and by making an evidentiary showing that he or she has satisfied certain other statutory requirements … . In a special proceeding, to the extent that no triable issues of fact are raised, the court is empowered to make a summary determination (see CPLR 409[b]). If, however, triable issues of fact are raised, an evidentiary hearing must be held (see CPLR 410).

Here, there are triable issues of fact as to whether the petitioner is an uninsured resident of New York, and, therefore, a “[q]ualified person” pursuant to article 52 of the Insurance Law (Insurance Law § 5202[b]); whether the accident, which the petitioner admitted that he did not report to the police within 24 hours as required by Insurance Law § 5208(a)(2)(A), was, nonetheless, reported to the police “as soon as was reasonably possible” within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5208(a)(2)(B); and whether the petitioner served a notice of claim upon the MVAIC within 90 days of the accident (see Insurance Law § 5208[a][2][A]), which issues could not have been resolved without an evidentiary hearing … . Matter of Laszlone v Motor Veh.
