Fishkin Lucks Wins Again; Awarded Summary Judgment in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York

In a complete victory for our client, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Irizarry, J), today granted our motion for summary judgment in its entirety. The Court awarded our client, a national life insurance company, judgment against its former agent for commissions and other costs the former agent owed arising from its sale of life insurance policies that were thereafter declared void ab initio following the client’s discovery of material misrepresentations in the policy applications. The Court’s decision also dismissed with prejudice the former agent’s counterclaims for additional commissions it claimed it was owed, and awarded our client its costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in pursuing collection of the commissions and costs.
