Opinion
2003-149 K C.
Decided December 9, 2003.
Appeal by plaintiffs from a judgment of the Civil Court, Kings County (P. Sweeney, J.), entered December 5, 2002, after a jury trial on the issue of liability, in favor of defendant, dismissing their complaint.
Judgment unanimously affirmed without costs.
PRESENT: PESCE, PJ., GOLIA and RIOS, JJ.
Plaintiffs brought an action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by plaintiff Titus Toriola in an automobile accident allegedly involving a vehicle owned and operated by defendant. Following a trial on the issue of liability, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of defendant.
We have considered the plaintiffs' contentions on appeal and find them to be without merit. Furthermore, upon a review of the record, we find that the jury verdict was supported by legally sufficient evidence and was not contrary to the weight of the evidence ( see e.g., Cohen v. Hallmark Cards, 45 NY2d 493).
