- Title
UNINSURED MOTORIST -- PHYSICAL CONTACT -- INSURANCE LAW SECTION 617 -- LIBERAL INTERPRETATION -- NEW YORK.
- Abstract
The article discusses a court decision related to uninsured motorist and Section 617 of insurance law in New York. Where ice and snow struck and broke insured's windshield after becoming dislodged from an unknown tractor-trailer approaching from opposite direction, court held that there had been "physical contact" within meaning of Section 617 of the insurance law and the uninsured motorist endorsement which required physical contact as prerequisite to arbitration. In affirming the lower court's denial of insurer's motion to stay arbitration, the court found that the liberal interpretation of the insurance statute adopted in the ruling of MVAIC v. Eisenberg was applicable in the present case.
