Practice question
A defendant points to three later events but offers no analysis of their connection to the original risk. The evidence shows they were ordinary foreseeable steps in one continuous injury-producing sequence. He claims the sheer number of events necessarily breaks causation. Which is correct?
- Three events automatically end liability
- Only one intermediate event is legally permitted
- The events’ character and natural connection matter, not their number alone
- Every event must be treated as a separate lawsuit
- The final event makes all evidence irrelevant
