Hi! How are you? Are you on your third year already?

[@danjbundrick]

My head is spinning at the thought that the defendant ripped the tree up by the roots with that giant axe.

[@eeeshieee]

Aahhh -- this is SO SO helpful! I'm planning to take my tort law exam tonight, and I wasn't entirely sure if the but-for test and substantial-factor test were BOTH required to prove causation. Thank you so much for making this video! You're a lifesaver!

[@katarinachurich5166]

Question - in the last scenario, how would plaintiff be able to hold defendant liable if it doesn't pass the but for or substantial factor test?

[@USLawEssentials]

If there is no causation there is no liability.

[@justinejackson1409]

Can you talk about a 3rd element that falls under causation (cause in fact)? 1) but for 2) substantial cause 3) alternative cause

[@USLawEssentials]

Please check out a video on alternative liability: uslawessentials.com/what-is-alternative-liability/

[@YouGotTheL]

You made this seem too easy

[@zahirabenmekhloua7826]

if he hadn't taken the axe to the tree, the car would have been ok

[@charles489]

The example is not proper, by lifting weights, properly performed under all circumstances, your back will become stronger and stronger.

[@shakenblake9]

Your criticism is improper, assuming that lifting weights is always properly performed under all circumstances (and that plaintiff could somehow prove that..)
