| Citation | 809 N.Y.S.2d 465,2006 NY Slip Op 01457,26 A.D.3d 461 |
| Parties | AMERICO FRANCO et al., Appellants, v. CHOUDRY M. AKRAM et al., Respondents. |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ordered that the order and judgment is affirmed, with one bill of costs.
The defendants established, prima facie, that neither of the plaintiffs sustained a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d), thereby shifting the burden to the plaintiffs to submit sufficient evidence to raise a triable issue of fact on that issue (see Toure v. Avis Rent A Car Sys., 98 NY2d 345 [2002]; Gaddy v. Eyler, 79 NY2d 955 [1992]). In opposition, contrary to the plaintiffs' contentions, the Supreme Court properly determined that their medical submissions failed to establish that either plaintiff sustained a serious injury as a result of the subject accident (see Franchini v. Palmieri, 1 NY3d 536 [2003]; Clark v. Perry, 21 AD3d 1373 [2005]; Montgomery v. Pena, 19 AD3d 288 [2005]). Moreover, neither plaintiff submitted any competent medical evidence to corroborate their claims that they were unable to perform substantially all of their daily activities for not less than 90 of the 180 days immediately following the subject accident as a result of the accident (see Sainte-Aime v. Ho, 274 AD2d 569 [2000]).
