State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance v. Tortorici
State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance v. Tortorici
708 So. 2d 1016; 1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 3207; 1998 WL 144898
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance v. Tortorici
Opinion of the Court
We find error in the trial court’s entry of a directed verdict on Appellant’s seat belt defense. Appellant presented competent evidence from which a jury could conclude that Appellee was comparatively negligent. See Ridley v. Safety Kleen Corp., 693 So.2d 934 (Fla. 1996). Therefore, we reverse and remand for a new trial on liability and damages.
