—[*1] Lester Schwab Katz & Dwyer, LLP, New York, N.Y. (Lawrence R. Green and Howard R.Cohen of counsel), for respondent.
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order ofthe Supreme Court, Queens County (Kelly, J.), entered February 23, 2009, which granted thedefendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that she didnot sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The defendant established, prima facie, through the affirmed reports of its medical experts,the plaintiff's own medical records, and the plaintiff's deposition testimony, that the plaintiff didnot sustain a serious injury within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d) as a result ofthe subject accident (see Toure v Avis Rent A Car Sys., 98 NY2d 345 [2002]; Gaddyv Eyler, 79 NY2d 955, 956-957 [1992]; Richards v Tyson, 64 AD3d 760 [2009]; Berson v Rosada Cab Corp., 62 AD3d636 [2009]; Byrd v J.R.R.Limo, 61 AD3d 801 [2009]). In opposition, the plaintiff failed to submit any objectivemedical evidence sufficient to raise a triable issue of fact (see LaMarre v Michelle Taxi, Inc., 60 AD3d 911 [2009]; Fiorillo v Arriaza, 52 AD3d 465[2008]; Piperis v Wan, 49 AD3d840 [2008]; Young Hwan Park vOrellana, 49 AD3d 721 [2008]). In the absence of such evidence, the plaintiff'ssubjective complaints of pain were insufficient to establish a serious injury (see Dantini v Cuffie, 59 AD3d490 [2009]; Villeda v Cassas,56 AD3d 762 [2008]; Ranzie vAbdul-Massih, 28 AD3d 447 [2006]).
