In Soo Kim v. Jung Woo Construction Corp.

264 A.D.2d 467 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

August 23, 1999.

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Kitzes, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

It is well settled that the amount of damages to be awarded for personal injuries is primarily a question of fact for the jury ( see, Gaetan v. New York City Tr. Auth., 213 A.D.2d 510; Schare v. Welsbach Elec. Corp., 138 A.D.2d 477, 478), and its determination will not be disturbed unless the award deviates materially from what would be reasonable compensation ( see, CPLR 5501 [c]; Walsh v. Kings Plaza Replacement Serv., 239 A.D.2d 408; Ramos v. Ramos, 234 A.D.2d 439, 440). We find that the jury verdict in this case cannot be said to deviate materially from what would be reasonable compensation.

The plaintiffs remaining contentions are without merit.

S. Miller, J. P., Joy, Goldstein and Schmidt, JJ., concur.
