Arias v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co.
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Arias v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., 528 So. 2d 25 (1988)
13 Fla. L. Weekly 1321; 1988 Fla. App. LEXIS 2236; 1988 WL 53043
Jorgenson, Nesbitt, Schwartz
Arias v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co.
Opinion of the Court
Rejecting the appellant’s contentions, we find first that evidence that the plaintiffs driver was acting in a sudden emergency supports the jury’s conclusion that she did not negligently operate her vehicle, so that the plaintiff was not entitled to a directed verdict on liability. 4 Fla.Jur.2d Automobiles and Other Vehicles § 233 (1978). Second, the allegedly improper final argument of counsel did not justify either the declaration of a mistrial below or the award of a new trial here. Gonzalez v. State, 511 So.2d 703 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987).
Affirmed.
