Summary of this case from Fittipaldi USA, Inc. v. CastronevesOpinion
No. 90-1105.
October 8, 1991. Rehearing Denied November 1, 1991.
Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, Maria Korvick, J.
Perse Ginsberg and Edward Perse, Hoppe, Backmeyer Stokes, Miami, for appellants.
Stephens, Lynn, Lein McNicholas, and Philip D. Parrish, Miami, for appellees.
Before BARKDULL, HUBBART and COPE, JJ.
We find no error in the trial court limiting expert witnesses in a medical malpractice case to one expert per side. Smith v. Coastal Emergency Services, Inc., 538 So.2d 946 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989); Crawford v. Shivashankar, 474 So.2d 873 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985). Further, permitting the defendant doctor to testify as to his care of the plaintiff would not be a violation of this expert witness' limitation.
Final judgment under review is affirmed.
