BM&S Founding Partner Dana Marjieh Secures Dismissal in Broker Liability Case, Motion to Reargue Denied

Black Marjieh & Sanford LLP Founding Partner Dana Marjieh successfully obtained a dismissal in a broker liability case in the New York Supreme Court, Nassau County, and subsequently secured a denial of the plaintiff’s motion to reargue the decision.

The case involved allegations that an insurance broker failed to procure requested third-party liability insurance or inform the plaintiff that such coverage was unavailable, leading to claimed damages associated with defending a separate lawsuit. The defendant moved to dismiss, arguing that documentary evidence, including an insurance application, demonstrated no such coverage was requested. The court agreed, finding the evidence conclusively refuted the claims and dismissed the case.

The plaintiff’s subsequent motion to reargue was denied, as Dana Marjieh successfully demonstrated that there was no misapprehension or oversight in the prior ruling.

This outcome reflects BM&S’s commitment to achieving efficient and effective resolutions for its clients in complex litigation matters.
