    Marc Demant et al., Appellants, v Ronald J. Rochevet et al., Respondents.
    [842 NYS2d 74]
   In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiffs appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Pitts, J.), dated September 5, 2006, which granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, and the motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint is denied.

As the plaintiff Marc Demant (hereinafter the plaintiff) made a left turn into an intersection, a vehicle operated by the defendant Ronald J. Rochevet struck the plaintiff’s vehicle. The defendants failed to establish their prima facie entitlement to summary judgment (see Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Ctr., 64 NY2d 851, 852 [1985]). Rochevet failed to show that he kept a proper lookout and exercised due care to avoid colliding with the plaintiff’s vehicle (see Scibelli v Hopchick, 27 AD3d 720 [2006]; Cox v Nunez, 23 AD3d 427 [2005]; Romano v 202 Corp., 305 AD2d 576, 577 [2003]; cf. Millus v Milford, 289 AD2d 543 [2001]).

Since the defendants failed to establish, prima facie, their entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, the burden never shifted to the plaintiffs, and the sufficiency of the papers submitted in opposition to the motion need not be considered (see Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Ctr., supra at 853; Kolosovskiy v Vitale, 7 AD3d 579 [2004]). Crane, J.P., Goldstein, Covello and Dickerson, JJ., concur.
