1Opinion of the Court

Mikoll, J. P.

Appeal (transferred to this court by order of the Appellate Division, Second Department) from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Jiudice, J.), entered October 18, 1990 in Dutchess County, upon a verdict rendered in favor of plaintiffs.

This appeal is directed solely to the question of damages, liability having been conceded by defendant. The determinative issue on this appeal is whether Supreme Court’s failure to instruct the jury on plaintiffs’ failure to call certain medical witnesses was prejudicial error requiring a reversal of the judgment for plaintiffs.
