Helen White v. Walter L. Cochrane

Automobile -- injury to guest -- proximate cause of injury. 1. Plaintiff consented to ride as a guest in defendant's car knowing that it was operated in violation of law after dark and without the proper headlights required. The car left the highway, and plaintiff was injured. Assuming that in so riding she was negligent and assumed the risk incident thereto, it was still a question for the jury whether such negligence or assumption of risk proximately contributed to or caused the injury.
