Corbett v. Yobris Enterprises

67 A.D.3d 955, 888 N.Y.S.2d 778

• Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
• Decided: November 24, 2009
• Status: Published

Opinion

In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendants Yobris Enterprises and Rafael Santos appeal, as limited by their brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Schmidt, J.), dated March 25, 2009, as denied their motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against them on the ground that the plaintiff did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d).

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The defendants Yobris Enterprises and Rafael Santos failed to make a prima facie showing that the plaintiff did not sustain a medically-determined injury of a nonpermanent nature which prevented her from performing her usual and customary daily activities for 90 of the first 180 days following the subject accident (see Insurance Law § 5102 [d]; Alvarez v Dematas, 65 AD3d 598 [2009]). Accordingly, we need not consider the sufficiency of the papers submitted by the plaintiff in opposition to the motion (see Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Ctr., 64 NY2d 851, 853 [1985]). Skelos, J.P., Florio, Balkin, Belen and Austin, JJ., concur.
