221 A.D.2d 510; 635 N.Y.S.2d 486; 1995 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 12001
Marron v. City of New York

Opinion of the Court

—In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendant City of New York appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (G. Aronin, J.), entered April 6, 1994, which, upon a jury verdict finding the appellant 70% at fault in the happening of the accident, and a verdict finding the plaintiff to have suffered damages in the sum of $511,700, is in favor of the plaintiff and against it in the principal sum of $358,190 (70% of $511,700).

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

Contrary to the appellant’s contention, a fair interpretation of the evidence supports the jury’s apportionment of liability, and consequently its verdict should not be disturbed (see, Salazar v Fisher, 147 AD2d 470; Nicastro v Park, 113 AD2d 129; Delgado v Board of Educ., 65 AD2d 547, affd 48 NY2d *511643). Moreover, we find that the awards for past pain and suffering and future pain and suffering did not materially deviate from what would be reasonable compensation (see, CPLR 5501 [c]).

The appellant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Balletta, J. P., Ritter, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
