You are partly right. But before the live stock owner can be held liable you must prove willful neglect. If a farmer has his fence in generally good repair you will lose that arguement. As long as ####### kids think its funny to sneak onto a farmer's peppery and chase his horses and cows, it is not possible to guaranty they will never break free.

 

$1.00 / mile fleace sounds great.......until bills come due Insurance!!!!! Ain't no money left over fo dat!

 

and if his fences were in good repair and the animal jumps the fence, or some punks mess around, why should the farmer still be held responsible?

it sucks to be that driver for not having his own insurance. and who's to say that the farmer HAS any insurance as well...???

again, good luck in suing that farmer.
heck if that was a valuable horse, maybe the driver can be counter sued for killing it...gotta watch out these days for reversal lawsuits...

 

good luck........someone could have illegally taken it off the property as well, as in stole it..

falls on the dumbarse driver for not having any insurance. and he had been been 100% legal as well with his speed, ellog (or paper logs) as well.

further, i am not finding anywhere right now, that farm insurance is required BY LAW in Florida.

could have just been a home owner with a horse. or no horse......

 

prove it, show me a policy, i can't find one, then prove to me the horse came from a farm, and not a private residence, as well.

tuff luck for the driver, putting off HIS responsibility to have insurance.

 

Maybe the horse was suicidale. Insurance doesn't pay when a horse commits suicide.
