McDowell v. Rodriguez

27 Fla. L. Weekly D917 (Fla. 5th DCA April 26, 2002)

The Fifth District Court of Appeals 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 a negligent driver of the particular automobile in question. Furthermore, even if the entrustment was not negligent, liability will still fall onto the entrusting tortfeasor.
