Question

Diana Martins · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : False, Explanation :  An intervening cause is an event that occurs after a party's improper or dangerous action and before the damage that could be legally attributed to that action, potentially contributing to the harm. However, not all intervening causes are considered superseding causes. A superseding cause is a type of intervening cause that is deemed unforeseeable and is significant enough to relieve the original party of liability because it breaks the causal chain between the party's action and the ultimate harm. Therefore, while all superseding causes are intervening causes, not all intervening causes are superseding.

All intervening causes of harm are also superseding causes.
