Court Decisions

A divided Court of Appeals ruled, in a 4-3 decision, that the defendant owner presented sufficient evidence regarding the adequacy of the safety device at issue to defeat the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment.

The Third Department, Appellate Division, ruled in favor of Kingstone’s insured defendant in the case of Vasilatos v. Dzamba. NYIA filed an amicus brief in this appeal. Vasilatos arose out of a lawsuit brought in Albany County Supreme Court for damages sustained from lead poisoning that allegedly occurred 24 years prior to the suit when plaintiff ingested lead paint from the defendants’ apartment.
