Lorenz v. Farer Transportation Co. , 174 N.Y.S.2d 951 ( 1958 )

On the record before us, we find the verdict excessive. Accordingly, the judgment is unanimously reversed on the facts and in the exercise of discretion, with costs to defendants-appellants to abide the event, and a new trial ordered unless plaintiff-respondent stipulates to reduce the verdict to the sum of $23,000, in which event the judgment as so modified is .affirmed, without costs to either side. Settle order. Concur — Breitel, J. P., Rabin, Frank, McNally and Stevens, JJ.
