Practice question
In a collision damages case, photographs reliably show severe damage to the car. The claimant argues those photographs alone necessarily prove that the collision caused a later medical condition, although no adequate causal link is established. Which distinction reflects Dela Llana v. Biong?
- Proof of vehicle impact necessarily proves every later illness
- The photographs may evidence impact without sufficiently proving the distinct medical-causation proposition
- Any relevant photograph automatically proves the complete claim
- The claimant's belief replaces the missing link
- Physical evidence cannot establish even the collision
