A motorist, having failed to stop at a mandatory stop sign, struck another vehicle at an intersection, resulting in personal injury to the other driver and damage to the vehicle; the lower court found the motorist entirely at fault, holding that failure to respect a stop sign constitutes a breach of a legal obligation, which is sufficient to establish fault under civil liability rules, leading to an automatic presumption of causation unless the motorist could prove an external, unavoidable cause for the accident, a proof which was not established.
