Opinion
Nos. 87-1087, 87-1321.
March 29, 1988. Rehearing Denied May 18, 1988.
Appeals from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Edward S. Klein, Judge.
Hayden Milliken and William R. Boeringer, Miami, for appellants.
Charles R. Lipcon and Brett Rivkind, Miami, for appellee.
Before BASKIN, FERGUSON and JORGENSON, JJ.
Appellants, Tropical Shipping and Construction Co., Ltd., and Birdsall Shipping Co., S.A., raise seven points on appeal. They maintain that the trial court erred in: failing to instruct the jury on mitigation of damages; allowing testimony as to an unpaid medical bill; refusing to permit the introduction of medical records into evidence; denying a motion for a new trial following inflammatory closing argument; admitting into evidence a video tape; overruling objections to videotaped depositions; and failing to reduce the verdict. Finding no merit in these contentions, we affirm. Fla.R.Civ.P. 1.110(d), 1.140(h); see Buchman v. Seaboard Coast Line R.R. Co., 381 So.2d 229 (Fla. 1980); Bould v. Touchette, 349 So.2d 1181 (Fla. 1977); Walt Disney World Co. v. Goode, 501 So.2d 622 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986), review dismissed, 520 So.2d 270 (Fla. 1988); Wasden v. Seaboard Coast Line R.R. Co., 474 So.2d 825 (Fla.2d DCA 1985), review denied, 484 So.2d 9 (Fla. 1986); Patterson v. Slachter, 439 So.2d 338 (Fla.3d DCA 1983); Dale v. Ford Motor Co., 409 So.2d 232 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982).
Affirmed.
