After another successful appeal to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, the Plaintiff in the class action entitled Golchin v. Liberty Mutual is now conducting discovery. In this case, which is pending in Worcester Superior Court, Diane Golchin alleges that Liberty Mutual unlawfully denied “medical payments” benefits to her and other insured persons who were harmed in auto accidents. In the latest appeal, the SJC rejected Liberty Mutual’s argument that the medical bills for which Ms. Golchin sought benefits were not “incurred” within the meaning of the insurance policy, and declared that MedPay benefits were in fact payable. Remaining to be litigated are Ms. Golchin’s claim under G.L. c. 93A and all claims asserted on behalf of other insureds. Plaintiff is represented in this case by Attorneys Kenneth D. Quat and Elliot Beresen.
