Karling v. Budget Rent-a-Car Systems, Inc
1/7/2009
2008 WL 5100530 (Fla. 5th DCA 2008).
The court upheld the the finding that the vicarious liability of short-term motor vehicle lessors (such as rental car companies) under Florida's dangerous instrumentality doctrine is preempted by 49 U.S.C. § 30106, (the Graves Amendment). The court affirmed previous holdings the Graves Amendment preempts Florida's state law (which would otherwise impose strict vicarious liability on rental car owners up to the liability limits set forth in section 324.021(9)(b)2., Florida Statutes) and that the legislation is a valid exercise of Congress' power under the Commerce Clause.
