| - Dangerous instrument liability doctrine |
| - The main factor that puts the elder Bollea on the hook, experts say, is the fact he is registered as the Supra's primary user. Tampa attorney John Goldsmith, who is not affiliated with this case, said Bollea is liable under a part of the law known as the "dangerous instrument liability doctrine." "If you own something that is a dangerous instrument, like a car, and you allow somebody to use that car, then you are liable for the negligence of the driver," Goldsmith said. SPT December 22, 2007 |
