Boswell v. Russell
27 Fla. L. Weekly D1434 (Fla. 5th DCA June 28, 2002)
The owner of livestock has a duty to make certain that livestock is not permitted to run at large or stray upon public roads. This duty is not subject to strict liability, but rather must be based on a showing of negligence. However, just because livestock is on a public road does not show that the owner intentionally, willfully, carelessly, or even negligently caused the livestock to be there. Furthermore, neither the liability nor knowledge of one spouse can be generally imputed by another.
