In this personal injury action, the trial court's charge regarding intervening and superseding negligence ( see, Derdiarian v. Felix Contr. Corp., 51 N.Y.2d 308, 315) was proper in light of evidence that the handrail upon which plaintiff sustained her injury was redamaged by K-Mart employees, with the knowledge of K-Mart management, subsequent to its repair by defendant B.R. Fries. Nor did the trial court err by permitting the receipt in evidence of five photographs of plaintiff shortly after her accident. The probative value of such evidence, admitted to assist the jury in its assessment of the medical testimony and of plaintiff's pain and suffering, outweighed its potential for prejudice (see, Harvey v. Mazal Am. Partners, 79 N.Y.2d 218, 224; see also, Axelrod v. Rosenbaum, 205 A.D.2d 722, 723).
K-Mart's failure to object to the jury charge or verdict sheet renders its argument respecting duplicative pain and suffering awards unpreserved for appellate review (see, Al Malki v. Krieger, 213 A.D.2d 331, 334-335). In any, event, the award for conscious pain and suffering did not deviate materially from reasonable compensation (see, Morales v. Jolee Consolidators, 173 A.D.2d 315), in view of the testimony regarding the reimplantation of plaintiff's middle finger on her dominant hand, and her scarring and diminished sensation and motion.
