Vehicle Driver Liability in Pedestrian Accident

Vehicle Driver Liability in Pedestrian Accident: An individual was injured when a vehicle, driven by another person, struck them while they were crossing a public road at a location without a designated pedestrian crossing; the driver claimed the victim suddenly entered the roadway, which was contested by the victim who maintained they were visible and crossing cautiously, and the Court of Cassation rejected the appeal, affirming the lower court's finding that the driver failed to prove that the victim's wholly exceptional fault, or the sole fault of the victim, caused the accident, thereby upholding the liability of the driver based on the presumption of fault arising from the use of a vehicle.
