CESAR SERVONES et al., Appellants, v. JUAN TORIBIO et al., Defendants, and LUIS CRUZ, Respondent.

Defendant Cruz's examining physicians found that plaintiff Janot Joseph (identified in the record as Joseph Gavot) continued to have significant restrictions in motion, evidenced by range-of-motion calculations, approximately two years after the accident. These findings alone raise an issue of fact as to whether Joseph suffered a significant limitation of a body function or system, and refute the physicians' statements that Joseph's examinations revealed no significant limitation or disability ( McDowall v. Abreu, 11 AD3d 590; see also Thorner v. Latture, 11 AD3d 448).

Defendant Cruz did establish a prima facie showing of no serious injury with respect to plaintiff Servones by submitting admissible proof that Servones had full range of motion in his cervical spine, despite the existence of an MRI report which showed herniated and bulging discs ( see Meely v. 4 G's Truck Renting Co., Inc., 16 AD3d 26).
