Murray and Valverde obtain summary judgment

Anne Murray and Frank Valverde obtained summary judgment for an insurance client in a case where a claimant was seeking over $2.1 million on a default judgment obtained against the client’s purported additional insured in an underlying New York Labor Law action.  Despite various challenges, they successfully argued that the claimant could not meet his burden of proving that there was a “legally enforceable written contract” between the purported additional insured and named insured, or that his injuries arose out of the “sole negligence” of the named insured.
