Head Matter:
Jason BUDNICK, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Leonard Budnick, Appellant, v. R.J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, Appellee.
No. 4D10-4064.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Dec. 5, 2012.
Bard D. Rockenbach of Burlington & Rockenbach, P.A., West Palm Beach, and Jonathan Gdanski and Scott Schlesinger of Schlesinger Law Offices, P.A., Fort Laud-erdale, for appellant.
Gordon James III, Eric L. Lundt and Lenore C. Smith of Sedgwick LLP, Fort Lauderdale, and Gregory G. Katsas and Michael S. Fried of Jones Day, Washington, D.C., for appellee.

Opinion:
POLEN, J.
We affirm the final judgment because we find that the appellant's general objec tion to bifurcation was not sufficient to preserve the perceived error that certain evidence should be allowed into evidence during Phase I of the proceedings. See Noel v. Broward Gen. Med. Ctr., 725 So.2d 438 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999); Corona v. State, 64 So.3d 1232 (Fla.2011); Steinhorst v. State, 412 So.2d 332 (Fla.1982); Rodriguez v. State, 609 So.2d 493 (Fla.1992).
Affirmed.
STEVENSON, J., and BONAVITA, AUGUST, Associate Judge, concur.
