Description
Defendants motion to sever is hereby denied. The Appellate Division has held that when "claims arise out of a uniform contract of insurance and involves interpretation of the same no-fault provisions of the Insurance Law" severance need not be granted. The Court found that even if the claims involved separate accidents and individuals they do not lose their character as a series of transactions because they occur at different places and times and if they involve a common question of law, as the case at bar does, joinder is proper. ( see Hempstead General Hosp. v Liberty Mut. Ins., 134 AD2d 569 [2d Dept. 1987]). Defendant failed to submit any documents to demonstrate that the causes of action do not share common questions of law.
