Contributory Negligence Affirmation on Substantial Evidence Review
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe court considered whether a finding of contributory negligence should be reversed where the evidence supported the lower court's conclusion that the injured party's failure to exercise reasonable care contributed to their injuries sustained in an incident involving a vehicle and an object on the roadway. The court reasoned that where the record contains substantial evidence to support the trier of fact's determination regarding fault, an appellate court should not substitute its judgment for that of the trial court, and therefore affirmed the judgment upholding the allocation of fault.
