Malafronte v. Ford

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

34 A.D.3d 435 (N.Y. App. Div. 2006)

Opinion

2005-08477.

November 8, 2006.

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, etc., the plaintiffs appeal, as limited by their brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Schmidt, J.), dated July 11, 2005, as granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that the plaintiffs did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) and, in effect, denied their cross motion for leave to amend their verified bill of particulars.

Before: Adams, J.P., Krausman, Rivera and Lifson, JJ., concur.


Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The defendants made a prima facie showing that the plaintiffs did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) as a result of the subject accident ( see Toure v Avis Rent A Car Sys., 98 NY2d 345; Gaddy v Eyler, 79 NY2d 955). In opposition, the plaintiffs failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether they sustained a serious injury. Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that the plaintiffs did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d).

In light of the foregoing, we do not reach the plaintiffs' remaining contention.
