The 25-year-old plaintiff's principal injury is a severed spine at T-6 that resulted in paraplegia and associated complications, including constant and severe pain. The awards for past and future pain and suffering deviate materially from what is reasonable compensation to the extent indicated ( cf. Schifelbine v. Foster Wheeler Corp., 3 Misc 3d 151, 153, mod on other grounds 4 AD3d 736, lv dismissed 3 NY3d 656). The awards for past and future lost earnings are adequately supported by tax returns and other evidence showing, inter alia, a difference of $50,000 per year between plaintiff's former and present earning capacity. We have considered and rejected defendants' challenges to the awards for psychotherapy and acupuncture. A collateral source offset for future Social Security disability benefits (CPLR 4545 [c]) should not have been granted where plaintiff's experts maintained that he is capable of working in the future albeit in a reduced capacity amounting to $50,000 per year, and defendants' experts maintained that plaintiff is capable of working as he had before the accident such that he suffered no diminution of earning capacity whatsoever. Such a record compels a finding that defendants did not meet their burden of showing that it is "highly probable" that plaintiff will continue to be eligible for Social Security disability benefits ( see Young v. Knickerbocker Arena, 281 AD2d 761, 764).
