The plaintiff sued New York Property Insurance Underwriting Association for additional recovery after NYPIUA paid for damage caused by a covered windstorm. In addition to his causes of actions for payment, he alleged multiple causes of action for extra-contractual damages. NYPIUA succeeded in dismissing claims for negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment and unfair claims settlement practices on various grounds, including failure to state a claim and the existence of no private right of action for unfair claims settlement practices.

NYPIUA was represented by partner Costantino P. Suriano and senior attorney Jon Quint.
