Opinion
April 30, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Irving Aronin, J.).
The jury awarded the infant plaintiff $650,000 for past pain and suffering, $750,000 for future pain and suffering, and $213,000 for covered medical and hospital expenses (which were disallowed pursuant to the collateral source rule), and awarded $30,000 in favor of plaintiff Audrey Ashby, individually. The awards for past and future pain and suffering materially deviate from what would be reasonable compensation under the circumstances (CPLR 5501 [c]) and we reduce them accordingly.
We have considered defendant's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.
