The Florida Supreme Court recently held in a 4-3 decision that homeowners may be liable for wrongful death and personal injury from automobile accidents caused by the landowner’s failure to prevent their landscaping from overlapping into a public right of way and obstructing traffic and traffic signs/signals. In Williams v. Davis, the Court extended the liability which already exists for commercial property owners to homeowners who permit foliage, trees and bushes to extend over their property line and into a public right of way.
