District Court of Appeal of Florida

In a personal injury suit arising from an automobile accident, summary judgment for defendants is reversed where, although the presumption of negligence arising in rear-end collisions had been rebutted by defendant, the case should be submitted to the jury without the presumption to determine whether one or both parties were negligent and, if so, to what extent.
