Carrasquero v. Mapfre Insurance Co. of Florida
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 13, 2013 · Emas, Rothenberg, Schwartz
106 So. 3d 989; 2013 WL 514053; 2013 Fla. App. LEXIS 2146 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Carrasquero v. Mapfre Insurance Co. of Florida

Opinion of the Court

SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge.

The holding in Carrasquero v. Ethan’s Auto Express, Inc., 949 So.2d 223 (Fla. 3d DCA 2006), that Ethan’s was not the owner of the vehicle involved in the instant accident compels, as the trial court correctly held in dismissing the complaint, the concomitant conclusion that it and its driver, the actual owner, were not covered under Ethan’s liability policy with the ap-pellee insurer here. See State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Hartzog, 917 So.2d 363 (Fla. 1st DCA 2005); Se. Fidelity Ins. Co. v. Rice, 515 So.2d 240 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987).

Affirmed.
