Supreme Court of Florida

Stark v. Vasquez

September 30, 1964168 So. 2d 140

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court held that the trial judge correctly submitted to the jury the question of whether the defendant's explanation rebutted the presumption of negligence arising from a rear‑end collision, and therefore quashed the Third District Court of Appeal's decision. The Court relied on prior authority establishing that such factual determinations belong to the jury.
