Alonzo v. Langridge

This case arises from a motor vehicle accident in which defendant Jess Langridge collided with plaintiffs Robert and Ashley Alonzo. The Alonzos rejected Langridge’s offer to settle the case, but then recovered less than the amount of the settlement offer. The trial court awarded Langridge his expert witness fees, including the fees of neurologist Floyd Fortuin as charged by the company ExamWorks, which arranged for Dr. Fortuin to serve as an expert witness for Langridge.
The Alonzos appeal from the judgment. Their sole contention is that the expert witness fees for Dr. Fortuin should be reduced to $400 per hour, the amount he testified was his “normal fee,” from the $650 to $750 per hour charged by ExamWorks. Because we find the trial court did not abuse its discretion in setting the amount of expert witness fees, we shall affirm.
