Opinion

PER CURIAM.

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.

STONE, C.J., and GUNTHER and SHAHOOD, JJ., concur.
