Practice question
A hazard creator and another negligent actor both remain operative causes of the injury. The hazard creator calls the later act an intervening event solely because it occurred later. What is missing?
- Nothing, every later event breaks causation
- Proof that the later event is legally an efficient interruption rather than a concurrent foreseeable cause
- Only proof of the later actor’s surname
- Only a receipt
- A rule making all earlier hazards lawful
