Index No. 20207/13E Appeal No. 13897&M-1329 Case No. 2020-03680
v
Francois LaCour-Gayet, M.D., Defendant, Montefiore Medical Center, Defendant-Appellant-Respondent.
Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker, LLP, White Plains (Alan Friedberg of counsel), for appellant-respondent.
Jonah Grossman, Jamaica (Lawrence B. Lame of counsel), for respondents-appellants.
Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Doris M. Gonzalez, J.), entered on or about May 8, 2020, which granted defendant Montefiore Medical Center's motion to set aside the verdict awarding plaintiff $1 million for past pain and suffering and $1 million over 41 years for future pain and suffering to the extent of ordering a new trial on damages unless plaintiff stipulated to a reduction of the awards for past and future pain and suffering to $150,000 and $450,000, respectively, unanimously modified, on the facts, to further reduce the award for future pain and suffering to $100,000, and otherwise affirmed, without costs.
The award for future pain and suffering deviates materially from what would be reasonable compensation (see CPLR 5501[c]).
In view of this finding, we need not reach the remaining arguments.
