| 2 | Dew v. Crown Derrick Erectors, Inc. | green | “what generally distinguishes a superseding cause from one that merely concurs in the injury is that the intervening force was not only unforeseeable, but its consequences also unexpected.” | 4 |

| 4 | Kassen v. Hatley | green | “a state-employed doctor or nurse has official immunity from claims arising out of the exercise of governmental discretion, but is not immune from liability arising from the exercise of medical discretion.” | 3 |
