How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “The presumption clearly does not apply where a passenger of the following vehicle sues the lead driver for his negligence.”
• “[T]he issue properly framed is ... whether there is record evidence that Birge was negligent as the forward driver and solely caused, or caused in connection with [the driver of the motorcycle], the injuries to Charron.”
• “[T]o the extent that there exists evidence sufficiently demonstrating that Birge was negligent as the forward driver, summary judgment against Char-ron is improper whether or not the presumption of Smith’s negligence as the following driver was rebutted.”
