Opinion
Argued December 7, 1999
January 27, 2000
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals, on the ground, inter alia, of inadequacy, from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Steinhardt, J.), entered December 15, 1998, which, upon a jury verdict, is in his favor and against the defendants only in the principal sum of $20,000.
John P. Bostany, New York, N.Y. (Tracy W. Young of counsel), for appellant.
Connors Connors, P.C., Staten Island, N.Y. (Robert Pfuhler of counsel), for respondent Ryder Truck Rental, Inc.
DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, ROBERT W. SCHMIDT, NANCY E. SMITH, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs payable to the respondent Ryder Truck Rental, Inc.
Contrary to the plaintiff's assertions on appeal, the jury's verdict on the issue of damages did not deviate materially from what would be reasonable compensation ( see, CPLR 5501[c]; Christopher v. Great Atlantic, 76 N.Y.2d 1003).
The plaintiff's remaining arguments are without merit.
RITTER, J.P., ALTMAN, SCHMIDT, and SMITH, JJ., concur.
