McDowell v. Rodriguez

27 Fla. L. Weekly D917 (March 1, 2002)

The Fifth District Court of Appeal found that, in a chain of custody of an automobile, indemnity will flow among the vicariously liable tortfeasors so that liability will rest with the tortfeasor who entrusted the negligent driver. Furthermore, even if the entrustment was not negligent, liability will still fall onto the entrusting tortfeasor.
