KIMBERLY M. LARSEN, Appellant, v. NITIN S. BANWAR, M.D., et al., Respondents.

It is hereby ordered that the order so appealed from is unanimously reversed on the law without costs, the motion is denied, and the complaint is reinstated.

Memorandum: Plaintiff commenced this action seeking damages for injuries she allegedly sustained as the result of defendants' medical malpractice. We agree with plaintiff that Supreme Court erred in granting defendants' motion seeking summary judgment dismissing the complaint. Where, as here, an expert's affidavit fails to address each of the specific factual claims of negligence raised in plaintiffs bill of particulars, that affidavit is insufficient to support a motion for summary judgment as a matter of law ( see Grant v Hudson Val. Hosp. Ctr., 55 AD3d 874; Larsen v Loychusuk, 55 AD3d 560). Thus, defendants' motion should have been denied, regardless of the sufficiency of plaintiffs opposing papers ( see Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Ctr., 64 NY2d 851, 853; Grant, 55 AD3d at 875).
