Vogreg v. Shepard Ambulance Service, Inc. green
wash · 1955
1 sentence

1955As pointed out in Vogreg v. Shepard Ambulance Co. (1955), ante p. 659, 289 P. (2d) 350 , there is no magic in the phrase “res ipsa loquitur.” It means simply that the facts and circumstances warrant an inference of negligence, not that they compel it; that they furnish circumstantial evidence of negligence where direct evidence is lacking, but it is evidence to be weighed, not necessarily to be accepted as sufficient.
