Witmer v. Smith

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
May 28, 1993
193 A.D.2d 1080 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

May 28, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, Gorski, J.

Present — Denman, P.J., Pine, Balio, Boomer and Davis, JJ. [As amended by order entered Oct. 1, 1993.]


Order unanimously reversed on the law without costs and motion granted. Memorandum: On a prior appeal plaintiffs argued that the jury's award of damages was inadequate with respect to the amount awarded for pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life and that the jury failed to make any award for property damage, diminished future earning capacity, and future medical expenses. We granted a new trial only with respect to property damage, pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life (Witmer v Smith, 179 A.D.2d 1026). The court therefore erred on retrial in denying defendant's motion to preclude plaintiffs from presenting proof with respect to any and all allegations set forth in plaintiffs' supplemental bill of particulars dated January 20, 1992 (see generally, 10 Carmody-Wait 2d, N Y Prac § 70:484).
