Evan H. Krinick and Barry I. Levy, partners with Rivkin Radler, write that almost five years ago, the Court of Appeals issued its watershed decision in State Farm Mutual Auto. Ins. Co. v. Mallela. Since then, the ruling has been cited in more than 100 other opinions and has provided great support for insurance company efforts to reduce fraudulent no fault claims. Because of its great practical significance, however, both medical providers and insurance companies continue to litigate numerous issues left open by Mallela, and although none of these has yet reached the New York Court of Appeals, there is a great deal of appellate authority on a variety of these subjects.
