Marsh v. City of New York
Decision Date | 21 April 2009 |
Docket Number | 377. |
Parties | JAMES MARSH, Respondent, v. CITY OF NEW YORK et al., Defendants, and MELIDO CABRERA et al., Appellants. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Defendants met their burden of establishing lack of causation by their expert's opinion that plaintiff's injuries were degenerative. The only opinion on causation submitted by plaintiff that was based on admissible evidence, that of his treating chiropractor, failed to address appellants' nonconclusory expert opinion that plaintiff's allegedly permanent cervical and lumbar conditions are degenerative in nature (see Valentin v Pomilla, 59 AD3d 184, 185 [2009]); indeed, the chiropractor did not purport to provide any reason for his conclusion that such conditions were caused by the accident. Absent evidence sufficient to raise an issue of fact as to causation, plaintiff's 90/180 claim also lacks merit (see id. at 186). We dismiss the complaint as against all defendants upon a search of the record pursuant to CPLR 3212 (b) ( ).
