¶1In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendants appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Galasso, J.), entered May 22, 2008, which denied their motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that the plaintiff did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d).
¶2Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
¶3The defendants satisfied their initial burden of establishing, prima facie, that the plaintiff did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) as a result of the subject accident through the submission of the plaintiff’s deposition testimony and the affirmed reports of their examining physicians (see Toure v Avis Rent A Car Sys., 98 NY2d 345 [2002]; Gaddy v Eyler, 79 NY2d 955 [1992]). However, the medical evidence submitted by the plaintiff in opposition, in particular the affirmations of her treating orthopedist and neurologist, as well as the affirmation of her radiologist, was sufficient to raise a triable issue of fact. Moreover, both the plaintiff’s orthopedist and the plaintiff, in her own affidavit, adequately explained any gaps in her medical treatment. Mastro, J.E, Fisher, Florio, Garni and Eng, JJ., concur.
