What is the test for a default judgment in a personal injury case?

A trial court's determination in entering a default judgment is entitled to great deference. See Marziliano v. Heckler, 728 F.2d 151, 156 (2d Cir.1984). Indeed, "[b]ecause the trial judge is 'the person most familiar with the circumstances of the case and is in the best position to evaluate the good faith and credibility of the parties,' a reviewing court will defer to his decision unless it is clearly wrong."
