STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, APPELLANT,
v.
CARMEN C. ORTEGA AND PABLO ORTEGA, APPELLEES

Fla. 3d DCA | 1994-10-05
No. 94-437
Before COPE, GODERICH and GREEN, JJ.
644 So. 2d 550 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1994) Positive Treatment
Cited by 39 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. appeals an order granting the motion of plaintiffs-appellees Carmen C. Ortega and Pablo Ortega for a new trial on damages. We find no error in the trial court’s determination that a new trial on damages is required. However, State Farm correctly asserts that the trial court erred in excluding State Farm’s only expert witness, Dr. Richard Glatzer, for failure to produce certain financial information. We reverse that ruling on authority of Syken v. Elkins, 644 So. 2d 539 (Fla. 3d DCA 1994) (en banc). There must be a new trial on liability as well as damages.

Affirmed as modified.
