'NEW YORK. Sept. 6/PRNewswire/ - On Sept. 11, 2007, New York's Appellate Division, Third Department, sitting in New Albany, will hear oral argument in Langan vs State Farm Fire and Casualty Co (WBC). Plaintiff John R. Langan will ask New York to legally recognize his Vermont Civil Union with his decedent-spouse Neal Conrad Spicehandler.
Without that recognition, Langan cannot recover the worker's compensation death benefits that New York affords to a 'surviving spouse'.'
