Head Matter:
Arthur W. FARRO and Catherine Farro, Appellants, v. LOWE’S HOME CENTERS, INC., Appellee.
No. 97-1869.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
June 5, 1998.
Daniel A. Amat, of Simmons, Hart & Sheehe, Ocala, for Appellants.
John H. Pelzer and Daniella Friedman, of Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster & Russell, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for Appellee.

Opinion:
GRIFFIN, Chief Judge.
We find no error in the lower court's refusal to grant appellants a new trial on liability and damages because the award of damages was small. We do agree, however, that Catherine Farro is entitled to a new trial on damages. A zero verdict is contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence and contrary to law. At a minimum, she is entitled to nominal damages.
AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part.
W. SHARP and THOMPSON, JJ., concur.
