This is the appeal of a final judgment after a jury trial in consolidated automobile accident cases involving appellants, who are mother and daughter. We find no reversible error in any of the issues raised by appellant except for the lower court’s giving of a jury instruction to the effect that appellants could not recover future lost earnings or future medical expenses absent the jury’s predicate finding of permanent injury. This instruction was erroneous in light of Auto-Owners Ins. Co. v. Tompkins, 651 So.2d 89 (Fla.1995), which held that future economic damages may be recovered without a finding of permanency when such damages are established with reasonable certainty:
We reject the mandatory permanent injury threshold test for future economic damages and find the appropriate test is to permit the recovery of future economic damages when such damages are established with reasonable certainty. Although a permanent injury is not a prerequisite to recovering future economic damages, it is a significant factor in estab*1198 lishing the reasonable certainty of the future damages.
Id. at 91. There was sufficient evidence offered by appellants on which the jury could have made some award of future economic damages. See Metrolimo, Inc. v. Lamm, 666 So.2d 552 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995).
We doubt that the maximum medical improvement limitation of Ludwig v. Ladner, 637 So.2d 308 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994), relied upon by appellee, has survived the supreme court’s opinion in Tompkins. Even if not permanently injured, it is possible that a person who has achieved “MMI” can be reasonably certain to incur economic damages beyond the date of trial.
Accordingly, we reverse on this issue only and remand for a trial on this element of damage only. In all other respects, the appealed judgment is affirmed.
AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; and REMANDED.
