Although plaintiff’s expert did not expressly address Dr. Montalbano’s nonconclusory opinion that the injuries were degenerative and/or congenital in origin, “by attributing the injuries to a different, yet altogether equally plausible, cause, that is, the accident,” he rejected the defense expert’s opinion and his opinion was entitled to equal weight (Linton v Nawaz, 62 AD3d 434 [2009], affd 14 NY3d 821, 822 [2010]; see also Peluso v Janice Taxi Co., Inc., 77 AD3d 491 [2010]; Jacobs, 76 AD3d 905 ; Torain v Bah, 78 AD3d 588 [2010]; Feaster v Boulabat, 77 AD3d 440 [2010]; contra Farri…

We conclude that, although defendants contended in support of the motion that plaintiff’s left knee injuries were preexisting and the result of a degenerative condition, “they failed to submit evidence establishing as a matter of law that the injuries were entirely [preexisting] . . . and were not exacerbated by the accident in question” (Benson v Lillie, 72 AD3d 1619, 1620 [2010]; see Linton v Nawaz, 62 AD3d 434, 439 [2009], affd 14 NY3d 821 [2010]; Schreiber v Krehbiel, 64 AD3d 1244, 1245 [2009]).

Specifically, Dr. Rosenfeld opined that plaintiff did not have normal range of motion and had “sustained a permanent disability as a result of the bulging and herniated discs in her cervical spine and lumbar spine.” He concluded that “based upon this patient[’]s history, treatment, physical examination, range of motion testing, and review of the MRI and EMG test results,” these injuries “are the direct result of the automobile accident of July 23, 2007.” Moreover, Dr. Shapiro, a radiologist, attested to MRI studies (upon which Dr. Rosenfeld relied) that revealed, inter alia, “f…

OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs, and the certified question answered in the affirmative.

In this personal injury case in which a taxi struck the plaintiff, the evidence plaintiff proffered relating to injuries to his right shoulder and lumbosacral spine raised a triable question of fact as to whether he suffered a serious injury that was causally related to the accident under the permanent consequential limitation of use of a body organ or member and/or significant limitation of a body function or system criteria (see Insurance Law § 5102 [d]). Since plaintiff established that at least some of his injuries meet the “no-fault” threshold, it is unnecessary to address whether his proof with respect to other injuries he allegedly sustained would have been sufficient to withstand defendants’ motion for summary judgment.

Chief Judge Lippman and Judges Ciparick, Graffeo, Read, Smith, Pigott and Jones concur in memorandum.

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.11), order affirmed, etc.
