Salazar v. Marrero

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District

670 So. 2d 191 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1996)

Opinion

No. 94-2901.

March 27, 1996.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Margarita Esquiroz, Judge.

Angones, Hunter, McClure, Lynch Williams and Christopher J. Lynch, Miami, for appellant.

Aurora Ares, Miami, Julio V. Arango, Coral Gables, for appellee.

Before LEVY, GERSTEN and FLETCHER, JJ.


The appellant, who was the defendant below, appeals the trial court's order which granted a new trial to the appellee, who was the plaintiff below, after the jury returned a verdict in favor of the appellant.

A review of the record reflects that the trial court abused its discretion in granting a new trial where there was substantial competent evidence to support the jury's finding that the appellee did not suffer any permanent injury as a result of the accident in question.

Accordingly, the trial court's order under review is reversed and this cause remanded to the trial court with directions to enter a judgment in accordance with the jury's verdict.
