Warner v. Integrated Health Services of Green Briar, Inc.

618 So. 2d 298, 1993 Fla. App. LEXIS 4673, 1993 WL 130558

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Helen Warner, appeals an order granting a new trial on damages. Ap-pellee, Integrated Health Services, cross-appeals the denial of motions for a directed verdict and for new trial. We reverse the order granting a new trial on damages, and affirm in all other respects.

If the record supports the award of damages, an abuse of discretion may exist in a trial judge’s conclusion that his conscience was shocked. Allred v. Chittenden Pool Supply, Inc., 298 So.2d 361 (Fla.1974). In this case, the award of damages was supported by the record. Accordingly, we reverse the trial court’s order granting a new trial on damages and we reinstate the verdict. Finding no merit in appellee’s cross-appeal, we affirm in all other respects.

Affirmed in part; reversed and remanded in part for reinstatement of the original verdict.
