ERVIN, Judge.

In this interlocutory appeal, appellant, plaintiff below, asks us to determine that the lower court abused its discretion in ordering that, pursuant to Section 47.122, Florida Statutes (1981),1 venue be changed in a wrongful death action from Escambia to Walton County. Such determinations are usually committed to the sound discretion of a trial court, although this discretion is not unbridled.2
