State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. v. Garcia
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 26, 1993 · Farmer, Melanie, Stone
621 So. 2d 475; 1993 Fla. App. LEXIS 5853; 1993 WL 174880 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. v. Garcia

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

At the time the trial court ordered a new trial on the grounds that the jury verdict was against the manifest weight of the evidence, it did not have the benefit of the recent Florida Supreme Court opinion Easkold v. Rhodes, 614 So.2d 495 (Fla. 1993). The Easkold court held that the jury could properly reach a finding contrary to uncon-tradicted expert witness testimony. Therefore, we reverse and remand with instructions to the trial court to enter a judgment for Appellant in accordance with the jury verdict.

STONE and FARMER, JJ. and MAY, MELANIE, Associate Judge, concur.
