Affirmed. See Wald v. Grainger, 64 So. 3d 1201, 1205 (Fla. 2011) ("A jury is free to weigh the opinion testimony of expert witnesses, and either accept, reject or give that testimony such weight as it deserves considering the witnesses’ qualification, the reasons given by the witness for the opinion expressed, and all other evidence in the case, including lay testimony."); see also Reid v. Med. & Pro. Mgmt. Consultants, Inc., 744 So. 2d 1116 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999) (holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying a motion for new trial because in an ordinary negligence case, the jury is free to accept or reject the testimony of a medical expert).
