Verbal Threshold

If verbal threshold satisfied, entire case goes to jury Gerber v. Springfield Bd. _____ NJ Super. _____(A-6662-97T1, decided February 3, 2000)
For purposes of summary judgment, plaintiff established that one of her injuries met the tort threshold for pain and suffering under N.J.S.A. 59:9-2(d). Despite the fact that other elements of her claim were insufficient to independently satisfy N.J.S.A. 59:9-2(d), once plaintiff established that any of her injuries met the tort threshold, her case as a whole must be presented to the jury.
