OPINION OF THE COURT
Charles B. Swartwood, J.
These are motions addressed to the verdicts in favor of the *48plaintiffs following a trial. Liability was conceded by the defendants and the trial was limited to the issue of damages.
However, there are several issues as to how the limitations under subdivision 1 of section 673 and subdivision 1 of section 671 of the Insurance Law on recovery of “basic economic loss” are to be applied to the verdicts. All parties were “covered persons” under the “no-fault” insurance law so that the plaintiffs were not entitled to recover for “basic economic loss”…
