PER CURIAM.

      AFFIRMED.


COHEN, C.J., and WALLIS, J., concur.
EVANDER, J., concurs specially, with opinion
                                                          Case No. 5D16-3821


EVANDER, J., concurring specially.

      Appellant is correct that the trial court abused its discretion in limiting the testimony

of one of its expert witnesses. However, after consideration of the record before us, I

cannot conclude that the error was harmful. See, e.g., Kennedy v. Brago, 544 So. 2d

216, 216 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989) (“After reviewing the record, we conclude that the proffered

testimony—that there was a degeneration in Mrs. Kennedy’s condition after the

accident—was cumulative and therefore its exclusion was harmless.”).
