Legal Opinion

Pena v. Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification Corp.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Decided October 9, 2012Published

1Opinion of the Court

Supreme Court properly determined that petitioner satisfied the statutory conditions for commencing suit against MVAIC (see Insurance Law § 5218 [b]; Cardona v Martinez, 61 AD3d 462 [1st Dept 2009]). To the extent the complaint report prepared by the New York City Police Department contradicts the allegations in the petition, the conflict merely presents an issue of fact to be resolved in the plenary action.

We have considered MVAIC’s remaining arguments and find them unavailing. Concur — Tom, J.P, Mazzarelli, Catterson, Renwick and DeGrasse, JJ.
