Fishkin Lucks won summary judgment today in the Southern District of New York (Furman, J.) on behalf of its clients, American General Life Insurance Company (“AGL”) and American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), against a claim for death benefits allegedly owed under an AGL group life insurance policy. After extensive briefing, the Court agreed with the Firm that, notwithstanding Plaintiff’s arguments to the contrary, the life insurance policy at issue automatically terminated according to its unambiguous terms years before the insured’s death. Quite significantly, the Firm was able to secure this dismissal before any discovery was taken in the matter.
