Opinion
November 28, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (McCabe, J.).
Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion is granted, and the complaint is dismissed.
The defendants made out a prima facie case that the plaintiffs had not sustained "serious injuries" within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d). The medical reports submitted in opposition to the motion for summary judgment revealed that the individual plaintiffs had sustained either cervical, thoracic, or lumbar sprains, with an unspecified degree of restriction of motion. The opposing papers were insufficient to establish that the plaintiffs suffered either "permanent loss of use" or "significant limitation" of a body organ, member, function, or system (see, Insurance Law § 5102 [d]; Tipping-Cestari v Kilhenny, 174 A.D.2d 663, 664). Sullivan, J.P., Rosenblatt, Altman, Hart and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
