Zisovich v. Aetna Casualty Surety Company

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 5, 1996
224 A.D.2d 411 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

February 5, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Vaccaro, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

We agree with the Supreme Court that triable issues of fact exist as to whether the defendant Edwin Shafier, an agent of Aetna Casualty Surety Company (hereinafter Aetna), sent Aetna a change order to insure the plaintiff's 1985 Oldsmobile (see, CPLR 3212 [b]).

Moreover, inasmuch as Aetna does not deny that it would have issued coverage for the 1985 Oldsmobile for an additional premium, any damages which Aetna may eventually be due are limited to the difference between the premiums actually paid and those which should have been paid had the 1985 Oldsmobile been added to the policy (see, Neil Plumbing Heating Constr. Corp. v. Providence Wash. Ins. Co., 125 A.D.2d 295). Mangano, P.J., Thompson, Friedmann and Florio, JJ., concur.
