To determine whether an act caused a specific result

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cause-in-fact means that the harm would not have occurred without the accused person's act. This helps to establish a direct link between the accused person's actions and the result. Eyewitness testimony or a confession can provide additional evidence, but neither is necessary for determining causation. Similarly, the victim's actions may be a factor in determining if the accused person's act was the proximate cause, but this does not address causation itself.
