Proximate cause

The diver’s injury from a defective steering wheel meets proximate cause. According to Melvin and Katz (2015), proximate cause is met when a breach of duty occurs in the closest proximity of the incident and without an unforeseen event that cancels out liability.

of requirements that must be met to be successful in a negligence claim. These points include: 1) The existence of a duty, 2) the breaching of a duty, 3) causation (actual & proximate), and 4) the suffering of an injury.

Proximate Cause: “An event closest to, or immediately responsible for causing, some observed result” (Cornell). Duty Application[s]: The first step in this case is to determine if a duty existed

1. The Defendant’s behavior in the Tavern is the proximate cause of Mrs. Summers’ injury. By shooting her husband, the Defendant is the proximate cause of Mrs. Summer’s injury of situational anxiety and psychological hysteria. In order to show that a defendant is the proximate cause of a plaintiff’s injuries, the plaintiff must show that there was a sufficiently close, actual, causal connection between defendants conduct and the actual damage suffered by plaintiff.
