Forsyth v. Joseph
Author: Lynn
*Facts: Forsyth was occupier in a car that was
hit by Villa's truck. Villa admitted to be going 55 miles per
hour when he hit the car and therefore he had to be speeding
before the impact since he made an attempt to stop.
*Procedure: Trial court found Villa to be
negligent because of excessive speed.
*Issue: Can you infer negligence based on the
facts of speeding?
*Holding: Court approves inference but does not
require it.
*Reasoning: There are skid marks, testimony, and
all the facts lead up to speed. *Decision: Affirmed
