Proximate Cause Remix

Don't you just love proximate cause?  Right.  In any event, here is a jingle we all know and love with the info we need to know about proximate cause.  Sorry no guitar this time.  Merry finals.

Proximate Cause Remix (to the tune of Walking in a Winter Wonderland)

Proximate Cause is puzzling

Hence this song that we can all sing

Ask three little things

To see if it brings

A proximate cause liability

First what was the conduct of the D?

What was the risk (forseeable) of it?

What was the harm that actually happened?

If the harm that was foreseeable is the harm that occurred then there is cause!

Oh proximate cause is puzzling

Hence this song that we can all sing

Ask 3 little things

To see if it brings

A proximate cause liability

Lukasik taught and this I do concur

If the risk you take is the risk that does occur

Liability will flow for sure!

Even if it’s not the way you would prefer

Oh proximate cause is puzzling

Hence this song that we can all sing

Ask 3 little things

To see if it brings

A proximate cause liability

Intervening Causes there are five

For criminals and drunks and rescuers

Also generations (&) suiciders

Go with the majority rule and you’ll be fine

Oh proximate cause we beat you

On the test we know you’ll come through

We’ll hum this fun song

As we go along

It’s all about causation, we agree
