Congratulations to Scarinci Hollenbeck Litigation Attorney & Partner Joel N. Kreizman for his Success in Representing LabCorp in Lawsuit
Red Bank, New Jersey, May 18, 2018 – Scarinci Hollenbeck recently secured victory for its client, LabCorp, in a lawsuit against Fusion Diagnostics Laboratories. The plaintiff, LabCorp, had performed medical tests for Fusion, a smaller laboratory that was unable to conduct those particular tests. The lawsuit arose from money owed to LabCorp for its services rendered to Fusion, which Fusion did not pay. Then, Fusion counterclaimed, making claims against LabCorp, including antitrust violations, violation of New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act, tortious interference with its clients and breaches of contract.
Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances
Fusion argued that LabCorp breached its contract by overcharging the laboratory and failing to deliver timely test results. As a result, Fusion claimed that it lost several customers and sought damages from LabCorp of over $400,000. Months before the trial, however, Partner and Co-chair of the firm’s Litigation practice group, Joel N. Kreizman, was successful in having all of Fusion’s claims dismissed through summary judgment order, except the breaches of contract claim.
LabCorp then went to trial in the middle of last month on its affirmative claim for money owed and Fusion’s breach of contracts claim. In a non-jury trial, Hon. Frank J. Deangeles struck down Fusion’s claims, dismissing them with prejudice. LabCorp was awarded the full amount of money it sought in addition to pre-judgment interest.
“I am very pleased with the result. It’s always a pleasure to appear before a Judge who pays attention, understands the evidence, rules in a very timely fashion and provides a sound basis for his ruling. That’s what the system is supposed to be about,” Mr. Kreizman stated.
