AMY OSADA, Respondent, v. JOSHUA TAUB et al., Appellants.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Contrary to the defendants' contention, the Supreme Court properly denied their motion for summary judgment. The defendants failed to meet their burden of submitting evidence establishing that the plaintiff did not sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d). The defendants submitted an affirmed report by the plaintiffs treating chiropractor ( see, Pagano v. Kingsbury, 182 A.D.2d 268), setting forth the injuries and course of treatment, and identifying a substantial limitation of movement. Based on these findings, the chiropractor expressed the opinion that there was a significant limitation of use of a described body function or system. The report and deposition testimony submitted by the defendants failed to establish that the plaintiffs injuries were not serious within the meaning of the Insurance Law ( see, Lopez v. Senatore, 65 N.Y.2d 1017, 1020; Mendola v. Demetres, 212 A.D.2d 515).

Mangano, P. J., Santucci, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
