April 5, 1990
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Eugene Nardelli, J.).
In light of the severity of plaintiff's injuries, his persistent disability and economic loss, the jury's verdict was not so excessive as to shock the conscience of the court (Ostrowski v. Apex Mar. Corp., 123 A.D.2d 257; Reinhart v. Long Is. Light. Co., 100 A.D.2d 755). However, as plaintiff concedes, the verdict must be reduced, since the jury awarded damages for loss of enjoyment of life, past and future, which were duplicative of damages awarded for conscious pain and suffering (McDougald v. Garber, 73 N.Y.2d 246; Grandinetti v. Rose, 155 A.D.2d 378). We have considered the parties' remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.
