Road Accident Liability Affirmation Based on Traffic Signal Violation

A lower court had awarded damages to a victim of a road accident, holding the driver liable based on a finding that the driver's failure to comply with a traffic signal caused the collision, even though the driver contested the factual findings regarding the signal violation. The high court rejected the appeal, affirming that the trial court's assessment of the evidence, including the determination that the driver's breach of the traffic regulation was the direct cause of the accident, constituted a sufficient and legally sound basis for establishing fault and awarding compensation.
