LEPORE v. CITY OF NEW YORK

The circumstances, which include a trimalleolar fracture of the ankle that involved three surgical procedures, three hospitalizations totaling over a month, confinement to bed or wheelchair for over a month between the first and second hospitalizations, and two years of physical therapy, warrant an increase in the awards for past and future pain and suffering to the extent indicated (CPLR 5501 [c]).
