The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has granted further appellate review in the case of Golchin v. Liberty Mutual, which Quat Law Offices is co-counseling with Attorney Elliot Beresen of Framingham. The case alleges that Liberty Mutual wrongfully refused to provide "Medical Payments" benefits to injured persons simply on the basis that the bills in question had been covered by health insurance. Plaintiffs believe that such benefits are clearly called for under the terms of the auto policies and Massachusetts law, but the Worcester Superior Court and Appeals Court disagreed. In seeking further appellate review from the SJC, plaintiff was assisted by an amicus motion filed by the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys.
