Tyner v. Department of Social & Health Servicesgreen2 sentences2017But, as our Supreme Court has explained, legal causation is a “much more fluid concept:” It is grounded “in policy determinations as to how far the consequences of a defendant’s acts should extend.” The focus in legal causation analysis is on “whether, as a matter of policy, the connection between the ultimate result and the act of the defendant is too remote or insubstantial to impose liability.” This inquiry depends upon “mixed considerations of logic, common sense, justice, policy, and precedent.” Tyner, 141 Wn.2d at 82 (internal quotations omitted) (quoting Schooley v. Pinch’s Deli Market, 2016I cannot say that but for the school district’s alleged negligence, N.L. would not have been assaulted. ¶47 I would also hold that, as a matter of law, there is no legal causation. 10 “The focus in legal causation analysis is on ‘whether, as a matter of policy, the connection between the ultimate result and the act of the defendant is too remote or insubstantial to impose liability.’ ” Tyner v.
