Steuber v. Rendelstein (N.Y.App.Div. 12/27/1999)

[1]

Supreme Court12/27/1999 Argued-October 7, 1999 DECISION & ORDER In an action to recover damages for medical malpractice, the defendant Anthony F. Tramontana appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Cusick, J.), entered August 18, 1998, which, upon a jury verdict finding him to be 46% at fault and finding that the plaintiff Deborah Steuber suffered damages in the total sum of $1,500,000, is in favor of the plaintiff and against him in the principal sum of $690,000. ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements. Contrary to the appellant's contentions, the jury verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, Nicastro v Park, 113 AD2d 129), and the award of damages did not deviate materially from what would be reasonable compensation (see, CPLR 5501 ). KRAUSMAN, J.P., McGINITY, FEUERSTEIN, and SMITH, JJ., concur.
