Chase v. City of New York

233 A.D.2d 474, 650 N.Y.S.2d 971, 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 12645
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided November 25, 1996·Published·Cited by 6 cases

Opinion

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendant Sette-Juliano Construction Corp. appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Feinberg, J.), entered May 30, 1995, which, after a nonjury trial, is in favor of the plaintiff and against it in the principal sum of $1,050,000.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

The trial court’s verdict is based on a fair interpretation of the evidence (see, Nicastro v Park, 113 AD2d 129), and the award of damages is not excessive since it does not materially deviate from what would be reasonable compensation (see, CPLR 5501 [c]).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Sullivan, J. P., Copertino, Santucci and Florio, JJ., concur.
