Mouton v. Pacific Indemnity Co.
Louisiana Court of Appeal

1Opinion of the Court
TATE, Judge.
Plaintiff Mouton was awarded judgment for the $1,250 damage sustained by his tractor when a Chevrolet driven by defendant’s insured crashed into its rear end after dark on December 14, 1956.
Defendant’s appeal is chiefly based upon its contention that the proximate cause of the accident was Mouton’s negligence in leaving his tractor (which had been used to pull a truck from the ditch immediately before the accident) parked without flares on the travelled portion of the highway, especially since the shoulders were broad enough for the tractor to have been removed from the road.
