   CIPARICK, J.:

   This action arises from a September 11, 1994 automobile accident,
   involving plaintiff's decedents Harold and Harriet Affleck, at the
   Westbury Avenue entrance to Waldbaum's Shopping Center in Nassau
   County. While attempting to enter the shopping center's driveway,
   Harold Affleck made a left-hand turn from the westbound lane of
   Westbury Avenue. In so doing, he entered the two opposing traffic
   lanes and, while in an eastbound lane, collided with the vehicle
   driven by defendant Buckley. The impact sent the Affleck car into a
   third vehicle that was waiting to exit the driveway. There was no
   traffic signal at the intersection. Harriet Affleck, a passenger in
   the Affleck car, died as a result of her injuries; Harold Affleck
   later died of unrelated causes.

   In addition to instituting an action against the drivers and owners of
