Appeal by plaintiffs from a judgment of the Civil Court, Kings County (P. Sweeney, J.), entered December 5, 2002, after a jury trial on the issue of liability, in favor of defendant, dismissing their complaint.

Judgment unanimously affirmed without costs.

Plaintiffs brought an action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by plaintiff Titus Toriola in an automobile accident allegedly involving a vehicle owned and operated by defendant. Following a trial on the issue of liability, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of defendant.

We have considered the plaintiffs' contentions on appeal and find them to be without merit. Furthermore, upon a review of the record, we find that the jury verdict was supported by legally sufficient evidence and was not contrary to the weight of the evidence (see e.g. Cohen v Hallmark Cards, 45 NY2d 493 [1978]).
