The court denied the request for review regarding a traffic accident where one driver was found solely at fault. The plaintiff argued for compensation based on shared liability, but the defendant proved exclusive responsibility for the collision. Consequently, the court ruled that the exclusive fault of one driver automatically excludes the application of comparative negligence provisions.
