Who is liable in Florida if the brakes in a vehicle failed?

If the brakes in a vehicle fail and that failure leads to an accident, the driver of the vehicle could be held at fault. Especially if they had knowledge that there was a problem with the brakes, and they failed to take action to correct it. Additionally, if they did take action to correct it and the place that serviced your vehicle did it improperly, they could also be held responsible.
