SUPREME COURT PROPERLY GRANTED DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO SET ASIDE THE VERDICT IN THIS PERSONAL INJURY ACTION UNLESS PLAINTIFF STIPULATED TO A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION IN DAMAGES FOR PAST AND FUTURE PAIN AND SUFFERING (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined defendant's motion to set aside the verdict i(CPLR 4404(a)) n this personal injury case was properly granted. Supreme Court ordered a new trial unless plaintiff agreed to a reduction from $1.2 million to $750,000 for past pain and suffering, and from $3 million to $1.25 million for future pain and suffering. Plaintiff had injured his back after a fall of two feet:

A jury's determination with respect to awards for past and future pain and suffering will not be set aside unless the award deviates materially from what would be reasonable compensation (see CPLR 5501[c]… ). “The reasonableness' of compensation must be measured against relevant precedent of comparable cases” … . “Although prior damage awards in cases involving similar injuries are not binding upon the courts, they guide and enlighten them with respect to determining whether a verdict in a given case constitutes reasonable compensation”… . Considering the nature and the extent of the injuries sustained by the plaintiff, the awards for past pain and suffering and future pain and suffering, as reduced by the Supreme Court, do not deviate materially from what would be reasonable compensation … . Garcia v CPS 1 Realty, LP, 2018 NY Slip Op 05753, Second Dept 8-15-18
