CASE LAW - Burgess v Fisher

Supreme Court Coat of ArmsThis is a case to determine liability for a collision where one party was driving through an intersection at or just over the speed limit. The other had stopped at a stop sign and was attempting a left turn when the collision took place.

Ultimately, the left turn driver was found to be completely at fault for the collision, but it is interesting to see the discussion that led to this decision and how some liability could attach to the through driver in some circumstances.
