Practice question
A store’s wall supplies shade where a visitor stands. A wholly unrelated event causes injury; no wall defect or relevant wrongful risk contributes. Is the shade’s role alone enough?
- Yes; any location choice establishes liability.
- Yes; every store guarantees all events nearby.
- No; stores are always immune from torts.
- Yes; any condition is necessarily the legal cause.
- No; supplying the occasion does not establish actionable proximate causation.
