No. 82991.

651 So.2d 89 (1995)

AUTO-OWNERS INSURANCE COMPANY, Petitioner, v. Michael TOMPKINS, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Florida.

February 2, 1995.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Curtright C. Truitt of Tew & Truitt, P.A., Fort Myers, for petitioner.

Terry S. Nelson and Jay Cooper of Goldberg, Goldstein & Buckley, P.A., Fort Myers, for respondent.


OVERTON, Justice.

We have for review Tompkins v. Auto-Owners Insurance Co., 627 So.2d 1236 (Fla. 2d DCA 1993), in which the Second District Court held that the trial court erroneously instructed the jury that the respondent Tompkins must have suffered a "permanent injury" to recover future economic damages. We have jurisdiction based on direct conflict with Josephson v. Bowers, 595 So.2d 1045
