Date Filed Document Text
September 17, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 38 OPINION AND ORDER #102351 re: 12 MOTION for Summary Judgment filed by East Penn Manufacturing Co. Inc. Here, there are no facts that demonstrate that plaintiffs injuries meet the threshold of a "serious injury" under the theory of &quo t;significant disfigurement." Defendants' motion is therefore GRANTED as to this claim. On the other hand, competent evidence demonstrates that there is a genuine dispute as to whether plaintiffs injuries to his cervical spine and right kn ee meet the "serious injury" threshold under a "permanent consequential limitation of use" or a "significant limitation of use" test. Accordingly, defendants' motion is DENIED as to these claims. For the foregoing reasons, defendants' motion for summary judgment is GRANTED, in part, and DENIED, in part. (Signed by Judge Richard K. Eaton on 9/17/2012) (mro) Modified on 9/19/2012 (ft).
