Order on Denial of Hearing En Banc February 7, 1996.

PARIENTE, Judge.

Plaintiffs, James and Tyleia Norman, appeal an adverse jury verdict in a personal injury lawsuit. We reverse because the combination of improper contact between the jury's foreman and his brother, an employee of defendant's liability carrier, and repeated improper remarks in closing argument lead us to conclude that plaintiffs did not receive a fair trial from an impartial jury.
