DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

In opposition to the defendant's motion for summary judgment, the plaintiffs submitted sufficient evidence in the form of a chiropractor's affidavit to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether the infant plaintiff sustained a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102(d) (see, LoPinto v. Guzzo, A.D.2d [2d Dept., July 10, 2000]; Mulvey v. Berman, 271 A.D.2d 587; Hernandez v. Burkitt, 271 A.D.2d 648).
