APPELLATE TERM OF THE SUPREME COURT, FIRST DEPARTMENT
PRESENT: McKeon, P.J., Schoenfeld, Heitler, JJ
570139/08.
against
Republic Western Insurance Co., Defendant-Appellant.
Defendant appeals from an order of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Bronx County (Ben R. Barbato, J.), dated May 17, 2007, which denied its motion to dismiss plaintiff’s action as time barred.
Per Curiam.
Order (Ben R. Barbato, J.), dated May 17, 2007, affirmed, without costs.
Assuming, without deciding, that defendant qualifies as a self-insurer, plaintiff’s action for first party no-fault benefits is governed by a six-year statute of limitations (see Richard Denise, MD, P.C. v New York City Trans. Auth., appeal numbered 07-308, decided herewith), and was thus timely commenced.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
Decision Date: July 22, 2009
Legal questions
A question of no-fault law this decision rules on, from our Legal Questions pages. Bars count the decisions on the question by year and court, coloured by category; circles are this decision and the decisions on the question it cites or that cite it. Point at a bar or circle for details. The categories and summaries are Beynenson Law’s classification, made by a language model and checked by a second reading.
Which limitations period governs a first-party no-fault claim against an insurer, self-insurer or MVAIC: six or three years?
This decision: Claim against a self-insurer carries the six-year contract period (pre-2018 Second Dept / App Term 1st Dept line)
Held, assuming without deciding that the defendant was a self-insurer, that the first-party action was governed by the six-year period and therefore timely commenced.
Of the 11 decisions on this question in the First Department courts and the Court of Appeals, 2 (this one included) are in the same category.
Similar decisions

- DJS Med. Supplies, Inc. v Clarendon Natl. Ins. Co. (2011 NY Slip Op 51304(U))A no-fault claim accrues 30 days after the insurer receives it; a later denial does not postpone accrual.
- Bronx Advanced Med., P.C. v Liberty Mut. Ins. Co. (2007 NY Slip Op 51334(U))The provider's summary judgment motion was denied on appeal because the insurer raised a triable issue of noncoverage.
- Richard Denise, M.D., P.C. v New York City Tr. Auth. (2009 NY Slip Op 29313)A no-fault claim against a self-insurer is subject to the six-year statute of limitations in CPLR 213 (2).
- Jesa Med. Supply, Inc. v American Tr. Ins. Co. (2012 NY Slip Op 50052(U))The provider's action was premature because requested verification remained outstanding and the insurer's time to pay or deny had not begun.
