Ordered that the order is modified, on the facts and as an exercise of discretion, by deleting the provision thereof which ordered a new trial on the issue of damages for past and future pain and suffering unless the plaintiff stipulates to reduce the award for past pain and suffering to $100,000 and for future pain and suffering to $25,000, and substituting therefore a provision ordering a new trial on the issue of damages unless the plaintiff stipulates, within 30 days after service upon him of a copy of this decision and order, with notice of entry, to reduce the award for past pain and suffering to $200,000 and for future pain and suffering to $100,000; as so modified, the order is affirmed, with costs to the appellant.
The plaintiff did not meet his burden in establishing his past lost earnings with reasonable certainty ( see, Bacigalupo v. Healthshield, Inc., 231 A.D.2d 538; Calo v. Perez, 211 A.D.2d 607, 608; Papa v. City of New York, 194 A.D.2d 527, 531). The plaintiff submitted only conclusory, unsubstantiated testimony and submitted no pertinent documentary evidence ( see, Bailey v. Jamaica Buses Co., 210 A.D.2d 192; Papa v. City of New York, supra). Accordingly, he is not entitled, as a matter of law, to recover damages for past lost earnings.
The jury awards of $1,000,000 for past pain and suffering, and $500,000 for future pain and suffering, as reduced by the trial court to $100,000 and $25,000 respectively, deviated materially from what would be reasonable compensation ( see, CPLR 5501 [c]), and should be increased to the extent indicated herein.
