proximate consequence or result

proximate consequence or result
proximate consequence or result
One which succeeds naturally in the ordinary course of things. A consequence which, in addition to being in the train of physical causation, is not entirely outside the range of expectation or probability, as viewed by ordinary men. The Mars, D.C.N.Y., 9 F.2d 183, 184.
One ordinarily following from the negligence complained of, unbroken by any independent cause, which might have been reasonably foreseen. One which a prudent and experienced man, fully acquainted with all the circumstances which in fact existed, would, at time of the negligent act, have thought reasonably possible to follow, if it had occurred to his mind. Coast S. S. Co. v. Brady, C.C.A.Ala., 8 F.2d 16, 19.
A mere possibility of the injury is not sufficient, where a reasonable man would not consider injury likely to result from the act as one of its ordinary and probable results
