Watson v. Picone 151086/2017 Supreme Court, County of Richmond
Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment successful where Defendant’s medical experts, through proper admissible form, found that the injuries complained of were pre-existing degenerative changes which did not meet the serious injury threshold. The Defendants also relied upon prior loss and treatment records to demonstrate the long-standing issues. The Court, in shifting the burden back to Plaintiff, found that the records Plaintiff relied upon were not in admissible form, and that even if they were, the records fell short of demonstrating that the injuries were causally related or fell under a “serious injury” as contemplated by New York State Insurance Law §5102(d).
