ORDERED that the amended judgment is affirmed; and it is further,
ORDERED that the respondents are awarded one bill of costs.
The plaintiffs contend that the verdict at the damages trial was contrary to the weight of the evidence and that the award deviated materially from what would be reasonable compensation for the plaintiff William Minscher III's back and neck injuries. However, through cross-examination and the presentation of evidence, the defense created a case that the injured plaintiff had exaggerated his injuries and that the injuries he complained of may have been preexisting. The plaintiffs were unable to proffer any objective evidence, i.e., X-rays, MRI reports, and bone scans, to prove the nature of the injuries that Minscher sustained as a result of the accident. Thus, the damage award in the principal sum of $58,000 did not deviate materially from what would be reasonable compensation (see, Ventriglio v. Active Airport Serv., 234 A.D.2d 451; Raucci v. City School Dist. of City of Mechanicville, 203 A.D.2d 714; Florsz v. Ogruk, 184 A.D.2d 546).
There is no reason to disturb the jury's determination not to award damages on the derivative claim. The jury could reasonably have determined that Minscher's injuries did not cause his wife to be deprived of his support, companionship, and services (see, Molter v. Gaffney, 273 A.D.2d 773; Fares v. Fox, 198 A.D.2d 396).
The plaintiffs' remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
