1Opinion of the Court
—In an action to recover *470damages for personal injuries, the defendants appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Palmieri, J.), dated March 10, 2000, which, upon a jury verdict, is in favor of the plaintiff and against them in the principal sum of $107,500.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
Contrary to the defendants’ contention, the plaintiffs fleeting reference at trial to an insurance company “was not so prejudicial as to warrant the granting of a mistrial” (Burlingame v G & G Auto Repair, 229 AD2d 511, 512; see also, Siegfried v Siegfried, 123 AD2d 621).
