Thompson v. Travelers Insurance Co.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided January 31, 1978 · Alderman, Dauksch, Letts
356 So. 2d 813; 1978 Fla. App. LEXIS 14906 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Thompson v. Travelers Insurance Co.

Dissenting Opinion

DAUKSCH, Judge,

dissenting.

I respectfully dissent. The award of the jury was wholly inadequate to cover the loss suffered by appellant as a result of the negligence of the individual appellees. In the record there is evidence that the jury misunderstood at least some of the court’s instructions and it is reasonable to believe they may not have understood all of the instructions. I would reverse judgment and award a new trial for appellant.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed.

ALDERMAN, C. J., and LETTS, J., concur. DAUKSCH, J., dissents with opinion.
