David GRIEFER and Ann Griefer, His Wife, As Guardians of the Person and Property of Laurel B. Griefer, an Incompetent, Appellants, v. Michael Jon DiPIETRO and Myra DiPietro, a/k/a Myra Bellio, a/k/a Myra J. Chandler, a/k/a LaPoint, a/k/a Myra No Last Name, a/k/a Myra, Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

On Motion for Rehearing September 8, 1993.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ben J. Weaver, Weaver, Kuvin & Weaver, P.A., and C. Daniel Petrie, Jr., Esler, Petrie & Salkin, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellants.

Edward D. Schuster, Pyszka, Kessler, Massey, Weldon, Catri, Holton & Douberley, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellees.


WARNER, Judge.

Appellants, as guardians of their adult daughter, challenge a final judgment in her favor but for substantially less than the damages requested. They claim that the trial court erred in the jury selection process, in allowing improper argument, in failing to give a jury instruction on unlawful speed, and in failing to award an additur to the jury award. We find error in refusing to give the jury instruction and reverse for a new trial.
