Traffic Accident Liability for Failure to Yield During Left Turn

A claimant sought compensation for injuries sustained in a traffic accident caused by a driver who failed to yield the right-of-way while turning left across the claimant's path, despite the claimant maintaining a proper speed and position on the road. The Court of Cassation upheld the lower court's decision, reasoning that the fault of the driver turning left was established by violating the general obligation to yield to oncoming traffic when making a left turn, and this fault was the direct and exclusive cause of the collision, thus justifying the imposition of full liability.
