Lillie R. McINTYRE and Cleveland McINTYRE, her husband, Appellants, v. Robert McCLOUD et al., Appellees.
    No. 75-1420.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    June 8, 1976.
    Wolfson, Diamond, Logan & Edge and Elliott H. Lucas, Miami Beach, for appellants.
    Stuart Simon, County Atty. and Thomas F. Valerius and Thomas Goldstein, Asst. County Attys., Weissenborn, Burr & Hy-man, Miami, for appellees.
    Before PEARSON, HENDRY and HAVERFIELD, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

In this personal injury action, the jury found from the evidence that the plaintiff-appellant did not sustain the injuries alleged, which determination is unquestionably within the jury’s province. Even assuming arguendo, that a “wrong” (in the form of negligence) was perpetrated by the defendants on the plaintiff, it is, nonetheless, well-established in the common law that there is no valid cause of action where there is shown to exist, at the very most, a “wrong” without “damage.” See the general proposition in Scott-Steven Development Corp. v. Gables by the Sea, Inc., Fla.App.1964, 167 So.2d 763.

Affirmed.
