Appeals from Judgment of Supreme Court, Erie County, Whelan, J. — Negligence.
PRESENT: GREEN, A. P. J., HAYES, PIGOTT, JR., AND SCUDDER, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum:
Upon our review of the record, we conclude that the jury verdict does not deviate materially from what would be reasonable compensation ( see, CPLR 5501 [c]). Contrary to plaintiff's contention, Supreme Court properly determined the present value of future damages in excess of $250,000 as of the date of the jury verdict and awarded interest on the present value of the excess future damages as of the date of the determination of liability ( see generally, Rohring v. City of Niagara Falls, 84 N.Y.2d 60).
