Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
There is evidence in the record that, as a result of injuries suffered in an automobile accident with the defendant, the plaintiff was out of work for 16 weeks. This fact, if true, is sufficient to meet the threshold requirement of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) that the plaintiff make a prima facie showing of "serious injury". A court in deciding a summary judgment motion must view all the evidence in the light most favorable to the party opposing the motion (see, Passonno v Hall, 125 A.D.2d 767), and if there is a triable issue of fact, must deny the motion (see, Hourigan v McGarry, 106 A.D.2d 845). Therefore, the Supreme Court correctly denied the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. Sullivan, J.P., Lawrence, Pizzuto, Joy and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
