The court dismissed the claim for damages, ruling that the accident was attributable to the pedestrian. The plaintiff was crossing diagonally without paying attention to the approaching vehicle, which had already signaled its presence twice. Consequently, the court determined the pedestrian failed to exercise due care, absolving the driver of liability.

SUMÁRIO

O acidente é imputável ao lesado, quando este foi atropelado, quando atravessava a estrada, em diagonal e sem prestar a devida atenção à aproximação do veículo, conduzido pelo réu, o qual havia assinalado a sua presença, buzinando por duas vezes.
