24. The plaintiff claims that all of her injuries are serious injuries as defined in subsection

(d) of Section 5102 of the Insurance Law of the State of New York, in that the plaintiff has suffered

fractures; significant permanent loss of use of a bodily organ, member, function or system;

permanent consequential limitation of use of a bodily organ or member; significant limitation of use

of a bodily organ or member; significant limitation of use of a bodily function or system; permanent

significant scarring in her eye. The serious injuries, as presently known, are multiple rib fractures;

a right hip sprain, a laceration to her left elbow which required sutures (on July 18, 2015); sprains

in her right elbow, right shoulder, and in her cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, resulting in pain

in her neck, mid-back, low back, right shoulder, right elbow and right hip that interfere with daily

living and require physical therapy. The serious injuries further include a serious permanent eye

injury, requiring surgery and which will require surgery in the future. The eye injury results in a

permanent and uncorrectable impairment to visual acuity. The plaintiff has an 8-9 mm scar on the

surface of her right eye, as well as a developing cataract which will likely require cataract surgery

in the future. She will also require removal of the sutures. The plaintiff has also been diagnosed

with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as anxiety and depression, directly related to the

accident and the carnage the accident produced. She will require long-term follow up care by an

ophthalmologist, by physical therapists and by mental health professionals.

25. a. As a result of the defendant’s negligence, the plaintiff, Joelle DiMonte, was caused

to sustain severe and permanent injuries. Ms. Dimonte sustained a severe physical traumatic injury

which resulted in multiple rib fractures, a right hip sprain, a laceration to her left elbow which

required sutures (on July 18, 2015), a right elbow sprain, a right shoulder sprain and sprains in her

cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. As a result of the trauma, she experiences pain in her neck, mid-

back, low back, right shoulder, right elbow and right hip. Her low back pain radiates to her thighs.

She requires physical therapy for her injuries. Ms. DiMonte also sustained a significant injury to her

right eye in the form of an 8-9 mm corneal laceration. The laceration was surgically repaired (on

July 19, 2015) and stitches were put in her eye. She will require removal of the sutures. She

sustained a permanent impairment of visual acuity in the right eye. The impairment cannot be fully

corrected. As a result of the injury, Ms. DiMonte has a 8-9 mm scar. As a result of the eye injury,

Ms. DiMonte has a developing cataract in the right eye which will worsen over time and it is

anticipated that she will need additional surgery to repair the damage. As a result of the accident,

moreover, her contact lens was propelled behind her eye and had to be removed with surgical

instruments. She has difficulty driving at night due to glare. She will require long-term follow up

care by an ophthalmologist. As a result of the accident, moreover, Ms. Dimonte has sustained

psychological and emotional injuries, stemming from the accident and stemming from the fact that

four of her friends, including her closest friend, were killed in the accident, and other friends were

injured. She has been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder, increased anxiety and

depression as a result of the accident, and has required and will continue to require mental health

therapy.

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 860 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 04/21/2022

The plaintiff’s injuries are both physical and psychological. Ms. Dimonte sustained a rupture

of the globe of her right eye, laceration of her right eye, fractured ribs, sprains to her cervical,

thoracic and lumbar spine, a sprained right shoulder and elbow and a sprained right hip, a laceration

of the left elbow, and profound psychological and emotional trauma. She was hospitalized from July

18 through July 20, 2015, at Peconic Bay Medical Center. She underwent emergency eye surgery

there to treat a corneal laceration and ruptured globe in the right eye, and has come under the care of

an ophthalmologist, Dr. Daniel Hamou of East End Eye Associates. She required an artificial lens.

She has difficulty driving at night.

As a result of the penetrating injury to the right eye, she developed anisometropia (cataract

development due to significant imbalance in refraction) in the left eye, which required the implant

of an artificial lense in that eye in 2017. Since then, she has had additional eye surgeries (most

recently in February, 2020) and will require surgical correction (and replacement of the artificial

lenses) throughout her life. Since the accident, she has had over 30 follow up visits with her

ophthalmologist and will require a lifetime of constant monitoring. As a result of the traumatic injury,

she is in life-long danger of developing early cateracts and glaucoma in the right eye.

Ms. Dimonte has required extensive physical therapy and has never overcome the results of

her physical injuries. She continues to suffer from pain in her neck, mid-back, low back, right

shoulder, right elbow and right hip. Her low back pain radiates to her thighs.

Ms. Dimonte sustained psychological and emotional injuries, stemming from the horrific

nature of the accident and from the fact that she witnessed four of her friends, including her closest

friend, killed in the accident, and three others severely injured, exacerbated by the relentless legal and

media aftermath of the accident. She has been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

with serious anxiety and depression, is under the care of a therapist and takes anti depressant
