Westchester Medical Center v. Lincoln General Ins. Co

In Westchester Medical Center v. Lincoln General Ins. Co., 60 AD3d 1045 (2d Dept. 2009), the Second Department found that the defendant failed to raise a triable issue of fact solely based on the hearsay statement of its investigator, as to whether the accident was covered by Workers Compensation benefits. The court then added that "defendant's possible entitlement to offset any no-fault benefits it pays by any recovery pursuant to a workers compensation claim does not constitute a defense of lack of coverage, which is not subject to the requirement that there be a timely service of the disclaimer" (Id at 1046.)
