Swanson v. Beilman
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 12, 2017 · Evander, Orfinger, Torpy
216 So. 3d 784; 2017 WL 1968726; 2017 Fla. App. LEXIS 6824 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Swanson v. Beilman

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Sarah L. Swanson appeals the trial court’s order granting a new trial on damages after she rejected an additur in a personal injury lawsuit arising from an automobile accident. We affirm. However, because the jury found the plaintiff below, Lolita M. Beilman, did not sustain a permanent injury, the new trial shall be limited to economic damages only. See § 627.737(2), Fla. Stat. (2010).

AFFIRMED.

ORFINGER, TORPY and EVANDER, JJ., concur.
