Opinion
2003-1088 NC.
Decided June 4, 2004.
Appeal by plaintiffs from an order of the District Court, Nassau County (J. Spinola, J.), entered May 19, 2003, which denied their motion for summary judgment.
Order unanimously affirmed with $10 costs.
PRESENT: McCABE, P.J., RUDOLPH and ANGIOLILLO, JJ.
Plaintiffs commenced the instant action to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits. In opposition to plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment, defendant submitted an affidavit from an investigator employed within defendant's Special Investigations Unit. Contrary to plaintiffs' contention, the investigator's detailed affidavit set forth ample facts and founded beliefs to establish the existence of a triable issue of fact as to whether there was a lack of coverage because the alleged injuries did not arise from an insured incident ( see Central Gen. Hosp. v. Chubb Group of Ins. Cos., 90 NY2d 195, 199). As a result, plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment was properly denied.
Plaintiffs' remaining contentions are also lacking in merit.
