`
`The motion by plaintiff seeking summary judgment on the issue of liability is denied. Issues of fact
`
`exist that preclude the granting of the instant motion. As noted by defendants, plaintiff was treated in a
`
`hospita‘
`
`\ ith anti-inflammatory medicine after an accident and released. No diagnostic tests were deemed
`
`necessary. Plaintiff had multiple injuries prior to the accident and her expert failed to rule out alternative
`
`causation. Moreover, defendants’ experts raise issues regarding not only whether the injuries themselves are .
`
`serious, but also whether the accident was the cause of them. Accordingly, the motion is denied.
`
`This constitutes the decision and order of this Court.
