District Court of Appeal of Florida

1Per curiam
Fidelia Alexander, a doctor of veterinary medicine, filed an action against Bird Road Ranch & Stables, Inc., to recover damages for injuries she sustained when she was thrown as she mounted a horse. We reverse the order granting a new trial solely on damages and remand for a new trial on all issues. The trial court erred in admitting an insurance investigator’s hearsay testimony as to the ranch owner’s eyewitness description of the accident.
