Gowens ex rel. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. v. Key Ford, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

REVERSED and REMANDED. While we specifically do not rule on the ultimate resolution of this case, we hold that the lower court erred in directing a verdict against Appellant. The testimony he presented and the reasonable inferences therefrom were sufficient to send the case to the jury. It is the jury’s duty to weigh and evaluate all of the testimony in cases of this type. Cromarty v. Ford Motor Co., 341 So.2d 507 (Fla. 1977).

McCORD, C. J., and BOYER and MELVIN, JJ., concur.
