Opinion
December 12, 1968
Appeal from the Court of Claims.
Present — Bastow, P.J., Goldman, Marsh, Witmer and Henry, JJ.
Judgment unanimously modified on the law and facts in accordance with the Memorandum herein, and as modified, judgment, and order, affirmed, with costs to claimant. Memorandum: In our opinion the award was inadequate as a matter of law. The evidence of plaintiff's injuries, hospitalization, suffering, disabilities, scarring and prospective additional hospitalization for plastic surgery require that the award be increased in the sum of $20,000, to a total of $75,000, less the $47,500 paid to her by the driver of the other vehicle, Francis J. Riccardi.
