Fasulo v. Lukach

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 19, 1997
239 A.D.2d 462 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

May 19, 1997

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Garson, J.).


Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion is granted, and the complaint is dismissed.

The defendant presented sufficient evidence to demonstrate, as a matter of law, that the plaintiff did not sustain any serious injuries within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102(d). In opposition, the plaintiff proffered evidence which failed to demonstrate a "permanent consequential limitation of use of a body organ or member", or a "significant limitation of use of a body function or system". The affirmation of Dr. Sudha Patel fails to specify any limitation in the range of motion of the plaintiff's cervical spine (see, Wilkins v. Cameron, 214 A.D.2d 557; Lichtman-Williams v. Desmond, 202 A.D.2d 646; Tipping-Cestari v. Kilhenny, 174 A.D.2d 663).

Miller, J.P., Thompson, Joy and Luciano, JJ., concur.
