Motions for summary judgment are usually denied. Insurance defense lawyers almost always bring them hoping to win and lining their pockets with the expenses of bringing them-all paid for by the insurance carriers. It is not indicative that Plaintiff will win at trial. Sorry it is not better news. If you have a good lawyer, trust them to do a good job for you. Good luck!
