578 N.Y.S.2d 126

585 N.E.2d 375

Opinion

Argued October 16, 1991

Decided November 25, 1991

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Third Judicial Department, Robert F. Doran, J.

James L. Pemberton for appellants. Harold D. Gordon for respondent.

MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.

While defendants urge that it was error to allow plaintiff's medical expert to express opinions on the very questions to be resolved by the jury, their general objections were insufficient to preserve a law issue for our review (see, Matter of Gonzalez v State Liq. Auth., 30 N.Y.2d 108, 112-113; Wightman v Campbell, 217 N.Y. 479, 482-483).

Chief Judge WACHTLER and Judges SIMONS, KAYE, ALEXANDER, TITONE, HANCOCK, JR., and BELLACOSA concur.

Order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
