“While defendant submitted evidence showing that plaintiff’s assignor misrepresented his military status in the underlying insurance policy application, defendant is precluded from asserting that defense as a result of its untimely denial of the claim (see Westchester Med. Ctr. v GMAC Ins. Co. Online, Inc., 80 AD3d 603 [2011]; Gutierrez v United Servs. Auto. Assn., 47 Misc 3d 152[A], 2015 NY Slip Op 50797[U] [App Term, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists]).”
