Warner v. Integrated Health Services of Green Briar, Inc.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 27, 1993 · Gersten, Goderich, Jorgenson
618 So. 2d 298; 1993 Fla. App. LEXIS 4673; 1993 WL 130558 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Warner v. Integrated Health Services of Green Briar, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Helen Warner, appeals an order granting a new trial on damages. Ap-pellee, Integrated Health Services, cross-appeals the denial of motions for a directed verdict and for new trial. We reverse the order granting a new trial on damages, and affirm in all other respects.

If the record supports the award of damages, an abuse of discretion may exist in a trial judge’s conclusion that his conscience was shocked. Allred v. Chittenden Pool Supply, Inc., 298 So.2d 361 (Fla. 1974). In this case, the award of dam*299ages was supported by the record. Accordingly, we reverse the trial court’s order granting a new trial on damages and we reinstate the verdict. Finding no merit in appellee’s cross-appeal, we affirm in all other respects.

Affirmed in part; reversed and remanded in part for reinstatement of the original verdict.
