Chase v. City of New York

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 25, 1996
233 A.D.2d 474 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

November 25, 1996.

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.

Before: Sullivan, J.P., Copertino, Santucci and Florio, JJ.


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.
