Supreme Court of Florida

Maria Cevallos v. Keri Ann Rideout

November 21, 201237 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 739

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court quashed the Fourth District Court of Appeal’s decision that barred a rear‑driver’s claim in a rear‑end collision absent a showing of complete negligence, holding that the presumption of negligence for the rear driver is rebuttable by evidence of front‑driver negligence, and remanded for further proceedings consistent with that rule.
