*9OPINION OF THE COURT
Per Curiam.Order, dated January 5, 2006, affirmed, with $10 costs.
In response to plaintiffs interrogatories, defendant insurer admitted that it received the no-fault claims at issue and made partial payment on the claims. Inasmuch as defendant’s verified answers to the interrogatories constituted admissions of a party, which are admissible as evidence (see Bigelow v Acands, Inc., 196 AD2d 436 [1993]), defendant may not now be heard to argue that plaintiff failed to submit proof that the claims had been mailed and received, and that they were overdue (see Mary Immaculate Hosp. v Allstate Ins. Co., 5 AD3d 742 [2004]). To the extent that Empire State Psychological Servs., P.C. v Travelers Ins. Co. (13 Misc 3d 131[A], 2006 NY Slip Op 51869[U] [2006]) supports a contrary conclusion, we decline to follow it.
Defendant waived any objections based on lack of proof of assignment since it did not seek verification of the assignment (see Hospital for Joint Diseases v Allstate Ins. Co., 21 AD3d 348 [2005]; Laufer v Lumberman’s Mut. Cas. Co., 9 Misc 3d 133[A], 2005 NY Slip Op 51632[U] [2005]). Since defendant failed to assert any other defenses, judgment was properly entered in favor of plaintiff.
McKeon, J.R, McCooe and Davis, JJ., concur.
