The Supreme Court of Justice unanimously rejected the review of a judgment that absolved the driver and insurer of liability. The court found that the victim bore exclusive responsibility for the traffic accident, a fact established by the lower court's reasoning. Consequently, the court upheld the decision that no compensation was due from the defendant parties.
