Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

The amount of damages to be awarded to a plaintiff for personal injuries is a question for the jury, and its determination will not be disturbed unless the award deviates materially from what would be reasonable compensation ( see CPLR 5501 [c]; Chery v Souffrant, 71 AD3d 715, 716; Keaney v City of New York, 63 AD3d 794, 795). Under the circumstances presented here, the award did not deviate materially from what would be reasonable compensation.
