February 22, 2005.
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals, as limited by his brief, from so much of a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Spires, J.), entered June 17, 2003, as, upon a jury verdict, is in favor of the defendants Stephen Wilson and Coppolinos Collision, Inc., and against him, dismissing the complaint.
Before: Schmidt, J.P., Adams, Santucci and Skelos, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
A jury verdict should not be set aside as against the weight of the evidence unless the jury could not have reached its verdict on any fair interpretation of the evidence ( see Lolik v. Big V Supermarkets, 86 NY2d 744, 746; Finucane v. Negri, 301 AD2d 626; Nicastro v. Park, 113 AD2d 129, 134). Great deference is accorded to the fact-finding function of the jury, and determinations regarding the credibility of witnesses are for the jury, which had the opportunity to see and hear the witnesses ( see Corcoran v. People's Ambulette Serv., 237 AD2d 402). On the evidence presented, the jury could have reached its verdict based on a fair interpretation of the evidence.
The plaintiff's remaining contention is without merit.
