AUDREY GILLIS READON, APPELLANT, vs. MIRTHA KIM LIM, APPELLEE.

PER CURIAM.

In this case arising out of an automobile accident, the defendant, Audrey Gillis Readon, appeals the trial court's calculation of damages. We reverse and remand for entry of a judgment consistent with this opinion.

The only damages involved were plaintiff's medical expenses. Without needlessly relating the facts of this case, the judgment is calculated as follows: economic damages ($11,500) — plaintiff's comparative negligence of 30% ($3,450) — personal injury protection benefits ($8,000)= damages for which Readon is liable ($50). See Wiggins v. Braman Cadillac, Inc., 669 So.2d 332, 334 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996); see also Olson v. N. Cole Constr., Inc., 681 So.2d 799, 800 (Fla. 2d DCA 1996).

This includes the plaintiff's $2,000 deductible. See Hannah v. Newkirk, 675 So.2d 112 (Fla. 1996).

Reversed and remanded for entry of a judgment consistent with this opinion.
