Opinion
March 2, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Golia, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
We agree with the Supreme Court that there exists a triable issue of fact as to whether the plaintiff sustained a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) as a result of the automobile accident at issue (see, Steuer v. DiDonna, 233 A.D.2d 494; Rut v. Grigonis, 214 A.D.2d 721; Bates v. Peeples, 171 A.D.2d 635; cf., Beckett v. Conte, 176 A.D.2d 774).
Rosenblatt, J. P., Sullivan, Joy, Altman and Luciano, JJ., concur.
