Littleton Park Obtains Dismissal of Contract Claims in Healthcare Litigation

A Littleton Park team led by partner Eric Goldberg and of counsel Bryon Friedman successfully obtained an order dismissing the contract claims in a third-party complaint against our healthcare client in New York state court.   The third-party plaintiff, a medical diagnostic company, asserted claims against our client for contractual indemnity and breach of contract for failure to procure insurance in connection with the underlying personal injury lawsuit.  The New York Supreme Court, Suffolk County, dismissed those contract counts under CPLR 3211(a)(1) because the contract at issue established that our client had no indemnity or insurance obligation vis-a-vis the third party plaintiff.
