Philadelphia partner Brian Breen and of counsel Jesse Endler obtained summary judgment on behalf of client insurer in the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, Luzerne County. The matter originated as a subrogation claim for property damage against the insured and its employee driver following a motor vehicle accident. Our client denied the claim because it had cancelled the policy prior to the loss as the insured failed to provide requested information and documents. The insured joined our client as a third-party defendant and sought declaratory relief that it was entitled to coverage for the underlying accident. Brian and Jesse moved for summary judgment under 40 P.S. § 991.2002, which states an insurance company may cancel a new policy within the first 60 days for any reason except a prohibited basis (such as age, race, gender, etc.) and with written notice to the insured. Written notice had been provided to the insured identifying its failure to cooperate and provide information. Based on the arguments in the moving papers, the court granted summary judgment in favor of the insurer and dismissed all claims.
