Griffis v. Hill
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Griffis v. Hill, 217 So. 2d 358 (1968)
1968 Fla. App. LEXIS 4627
Carroll, Donald, Johnson, Rawls
Griffis v. Hill
Opinion of the Court
This is an appeal from a final judgment based upon a jury verdict in an action for damages. The main point of contention is the inadequateness of the verdict and judgment. Motion for new trial was denied.
It appears from the evidence that actual medical expenses of approximately $797.90
Inasmuch as the jury fixed the amount of its verdict at a figure in excess of proven medical expenses, presumably for any and all other damages accruing to the claimant, including pain and suffering and loss of earnings, we feel compelled to affirm under the authority of City of Miami v. Smith, 165 So.2d 748 (Fla. 1964) and Shaw v. Puleo, 159 So.2d 641 (Fla. 1964).
