Roder v. Ferkovich
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 11, 1998 · Dauksch, Griffin, Peterson
722 So. 2d 925; 1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 15641; 1998 WL 852948 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Roder v. Ferkovich

Opinion of the Court

GRIFFIN, C.J.

The defendants below appeal an order granting a new trial after the jury found no liability on the part of defendants. The trial court did not err in granting the Ferkoviches a new trial. There was no evidence to support a finding that Roder was not negligent in running into the rear of Ferkovich’s vehicle, and there was no evidence which would support a finding that the Ferkoviches had sustained no injuries or damages as a result of the accident. Based on the foregoing, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in ordering a new trial.

AFFIRMED.

DAUKSCH and PETERSON, JJ., concur.
