Bufano v. Bletscher

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 17, 1964
22 A.D.2d 773 (N.Y. App. Div. 1964)

Opinion

November 17, 1964


Judgment entered September 9, 1963, in the sum of $10,842.50 in favor of plaintiff, unanimously reversed on the law and on the facts, the verdict vacated, and a new trial granted, with $50 costs to defendant-appellant, unless plaintiff stipulates to accept $3,000 plus $650 special damages in lieu of the award by verdict, in which event the judgment is modified to that extent, and, as so modified, affirmed, with $50 costs to defendant-appellant. The verdict of the jury in this personal injury negligence action is made up of two parts — general and special damages. The latter finding in the sum of $650 can be sustained. However, that portion which represents compensation for injuries is grossly excessive and an award in excess of $3,000 cannot be justified by the record. Settle order on notice.

Concur — Breitel, J.P., Rabin, McNally, Stevens and Steuer, JJ.
