Opinion

June 27, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Roncallo, J.).

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

The plaintiff was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sustained, inter alia, a bimalleolar fracture dislocation of the right ankle, which required the surgical insertion and later removal of a metal plate and screws. The jury awarded the plaintiff $90,000 in damages for pain and suffering. The award does not deviate materially from what would be reasonable compensation for the plaintiff's injuries (see, CPLR 5501 [c]; Carlino v. County of Albany, 178 A.D.2d 772; Jakalow v. Consoli, 175 A.D.2d 826; Cadaner v. Eretz Assn., 155 A.D.2d 409). Sullivan, J.P., Balletta, Altman and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
