Opinion
2000-11087
Argued April 8, 2002.
May 8, 2002.
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, etc., the plaintiffs appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Mason, J.), entered October 20, 2000, which, upon a jury verdict on the issue of liability, is in favor of the defendants Carlos Negron and Supreme Trucking, Inc., and against them, dismissing the action.
Fuchsberg Fuchsberg, New York, N.Y. (Ronald Yang of counsel), for appellants.
McElfish Associates, LLC, New York, N.Y. (Suzanne M. Billig, Raymond D. McElfish, and Brian J. Isaac of counsel), for respondent Carlos Negron.
Marshall Bellard, Garden City, N.Y. (William T. Bellard and Gilbert J. Hardy of counsel), for respondent Supreme Trucking, Inc.
Before: RITTER, J.P., FEUERSTEIN, GOLDSTEIN, COZIER, JJ.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The plaintiffs' general objection at trial to admission of the prior statements of a defense witness was insufficient to preserve the issue for appellate review (see Balsz v. A and T Bus Co., 252 A.D.2d 458; Weissman v. New York Tel Co., 178 A.D.2d 353). In any event, the error, if any, was harmless.
RITTER, J.P., FEUERSTEIN, GOLDSTEIN and COZIER, JJ., concur.
