Ten years in insurance defense

The Appellate Division, First Department, cited two of my cases in a recent opinion, Cruz v. New York City Housing Authority, 2012 NY Slip Op 01505 (Feb. 28, 2012). They were elevator cases in which the defendants were granted summary judgment and the plaintiffs were denied leave to appeal.

That makes me proud and sad at the same time. It means that after ten years in the business of insurance defense, I actually have a body of work worth citing. That’s not bad for a third career, but it also means that I’ve been away from marine insurance for a long time.
