Shearon v. Sullivan

27 Fla. L. Weekly D1686 (Fla. 1st DCA August 2, 2002)

The First District Court of Appeal found that the trial court abused its discretion in excluding portion of a doctor's deposition regarding future medical treatment and future medical costs. The court held that whatever qualification was placed on the doctor's opinion goes to the weight of the opinion, and not its admissibility. The jury should have been allowed to hear and weigh the doctor's testimony regarding future medical care and costs.
