Beasley, P.J.
(concurring). I concur in reversing and remanding for the reason that the trial judge has not made findings applying the Cassidy1 standards.
The difficult question on appeal remains whether any effect is to be given to a jury verdict reached after a fair trial according to the law as it was at the time. The jury apparently decided that there was no serious impairment of body function. Quite obviously, the jury did not believe plaintiffs or the expert witness employed by their counsel. Probably, the Supreme Court meant in its brief order that the jury verdict should be disregarded.2
However, the trial judge has not made sufficient findings for us to know the basis for his decision after remand and, particularly, whether or not he gave weight to the jury verdict._
