Taylor v. Gin Cabel Trucking, Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
May 6, 2004
7 A.D.3d 272 (N.Y. App. Div. 2004)

Opinion

3419.

Decided May 6, 2004.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Alan J. Saks, J.), entered on or about April 22, 2003, which granted defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Geller Hausman, PLLC, Hartsdale (Richard L. Geller of counsel), for appellant.

McCormick Turpin, Pearl River (Jill E. O'Sullivan of counsel), for respondents.

Before: Buckley, P.J., Nardelli, Andrias, Sullivan, Gonzalez, JJ.


Defendants in this personal injury action met their burden of establishing, through the submitted reports of medical experts, that plaintiff had not sustained a serious injury as defined in Insurance Law § 5102(d). Plaintiff failed to present sufficient objective evidence to overcome these submissions by demonstrating she had sustained such an injury that prevented resumption of her normal and customary activities, especially in light of the 15½-month gap between the last documented examination by her own physician and the one examination by her medical expert, Dr. Hausknecht ( see Vaughan v. Baez, 305 A.D.2d 101).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
