Opinion
March 30, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (R. Goldberg, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the jury properly concluded that the daily activities of the plaintiff Mariamma Varughese Karamvelil were substantially curtailed for more than 90 days during the 180 days immediately following the accident which caused her injuries, thereby establishing "serious injury" as defined by Insurance Law § 5102 (d) (see, Gaddy v. Eyler, 79 N.Y.2d 955; Walsh v. Kings Plaza Replacement Serv., 239 A.D.2d 408; Kim v. Cohen, 208 A.D.2d 807, 808; Gleissner v. LoPresti, 135 A.D.2d 494, 495).
Further, contrary to the defendants' contention, considering the nature and consequence of the injuries sustained by the plaintiff, the award of damages did not deviate materially from what would be reasonable compensation (see, Brown v. Stark, 205 A.D.2d 725; Orris v. West, 189 A.D.2d 866).
The defendants' remaining contention is without merit.
Miller, J. P., Thompson, Friedmann and McGinity, JJ., concur.
