Duljo Bogdanovic et al., Respondents,
v
City of New York, Defendant, and New York City Transit Authority et al., Appellants.

[*1] Wallace D. Gossett, Brooklyn (Anita Isola of counsel), for appellants.

Tumelty & Spier, LLP, New York (Michael J. Andrews of counsel), for respondents.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Carol E. Huff, J.), entered November 10, 2008, which, to the extent appealed from, as limited by the briefs, awarded plaintiff $250,000 for future lost earnings, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

We see no reason to reduce the damages awarded to plaintiff for future earnings for a period of 20 years, where the medical evidence established that plaintiff would only be able to work part-time as a result of his injuries, and where the damages awarded by the jury were less than half the sum projected in uncontradicted testimony by plaintiff's economist (cf. Flores v Parkchester Preserv. Co., L.P., 42 AD3d 318 [2007], lv denied 10 NY3d 714 [2008]). Concur—Andrias, J.P., Catterson, Renwick and Manzanet-Daniels, JJ.
