Comment on Subrogation Issues for Your Insureds To Avoid (with your good advice) by Agency Checklists

Agency Checklists — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:52:34 +0000

The case against Attorney Fragomeni is still pending in Suffolk County. Attorney Fragomeni has filed for summary judgment. That is, he claims that there are not issues of material fact in dispute and that he is entitled to judgment by the court as a matter of law. The hearing is scheduled for February 15, 2012. Ms. Sandman filed a lawsuit in Norfolk County in 2010 in the name of her daughter against the heating oil company that caused the problem. That suit would not be subject to the same statute of limitations problem that barred her suit after the subrogation claim was settled. No idea about how Quincy Mutual feels about the lawyer. Obviously an awkward situation all the way around.

Curous how she did against Fragomeni. If this fellow really told her that he’d represent her also in this case where he’s already representing Quincy Mutual, it seems she’s probably got a case.
I suspect QM is looking for new legal counsel too!
