New York City Transit Authority, 299 AD2d 321, 749 N.Y.S.2d 82 [2d Dept 2002], the plaintiff, who never underwent surgery, complained of chronic pain in his head, shoulders, neck, arm, and leg. The jury awarded the plaintiff $ 250,000 for past pain and suffering, and $ 800,000 for future pain and suffering, which the trial court reduced to $ 175,000 and $ 325,000, respectively.
