Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- “if the injury is directly caused by some independent act or intervening cause wholly disassociated from, independent of and remote from the use of the automobile, the injury is not the result of the ‘use’ of the automobile”
- \What appears to be crucial to many courts in determining whether an injury produced by another vehicle or person falls within the ambit of 'use' is the existence of a causal connection between an accident or injury and the use of the vehicle.\ (citations omitted)
