“if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to material fact, and that mover is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Armand v. Belt · Anders v. Andrus“Louisiana courts use a duty-risk analysis in negligence cases to determine whether liability exists under the facts of a particular case.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The evidence here shows that Mr. Cormier exercised the proper degree of care when approaching the intersection. He stated that he was driving the speed limit when the tractor-trailer appeared before him, allowing him only enough time to apply his brakes and duck. Mr. Albear stated that he simply did not see the approaching vehicle. Although there is some disagreement over the speed at which the tractor-trailer entered the intersection, it is insufficient to attribute fault to Mr. Cormier. Under these circumstances, we find that there is no genuine issue of material fact regarding Mr. Albear’s sole responsibility for causing the accident and injuries.”
