After Reinaldo Villanueva was killed in a car accident, his estate sued various people, including Mr. Youngblood, who had delivered a car to a consignment shop for sale a few weeks earlier. That car was involved in the fatal accident. It was being driven by the owner of the consignment shop, who was also sued but later settled. In the trial court, Mr. Youngblood argued he was not responsible because of an exception to the Florida legal doctrine that makes the owner of a car liable for damages caused when someone else is driving the car. The exception is for injuries caused by people who are working on the car when it has been left for service. The trial court agreed with Mr. Youngblood but the Second District Court of Appeal overturned that ruling.
