Dear Parties: Israel Purdy, LLP 11 Grace Avenue Suite 111 Great Neck, NY 11021 By: EMAIL American Transit Insurance Company One Metro Tech Center, 7th Fl.
American Transit Insurance Company 10/14/2022 3141251 11020507-01 16616 By direction of the Arbitrator we herewith transmit to you the duly executed Award in the above captioned matter.
Findings, Conclusions, and Basis Therefor Insurance Law § 5102 (b) (2) states that a No-Fault claimant is entitled to reimbursement for economic loss less amounts "recovered or recoverable" from Workers' Compensation benefits.
As the Board, which is the exclusive forum to determine whether an individual was in the course of his employment at the time of a motor vehicle accident, concluded that assignor was not covered by Workers' Compensation, Respondent's denials predicated upon the defense that said coverage was primary must be vacated.
Page 4/6 Inasmuch as Applicant did not establish that it filed for arbitration within 30 days of receipt of Respondent's denials, the statutory tolling provision applies.
