How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• explaining that “an insurer or other third-party payer of medical expenditures may not recover derivatively for injuries suffered by its insured”
• noting that “limit[ing] the scope of section 349 to only consumers” would be “in contravention of the statute’s plain language permitting recovery by any person injured ‘by reason of’ any violation”
• dismissing Section 349 claim because “the losses [plaintiff] experienced arose wholly as a result of” injuries suffered by others
• holding “that a third-party payer has no standing to bring an action under [GBL section] 349 because its claims are too remote” and “that what is required [under section 349] is that the party actually injured be the one to bring suit”
