Explain how and what duty will run to all foreseeable


Read the Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Co., 248 N.Y. 339, 162 N.E. 99 (N.Y. 1928) which can be found on the internet. It was a decision by the New York Court of Appeals (the highest state court in New York) written by Chief Judge Benjamin Cardozo, a leading figure in the development of American common law and later a Supreme Court justice. Palsgraf is a landmark in tort law that helped establish the concept of proximate cause, a limitation of negligence with respect to scope of liability. Explain this case as it has shaped the tort lawyer business. Explain how and what duty will run to all foreseeable plaintiffs under the Cardozo rule for Palsgraf. Do the elements of duty, breach, causation and damages make sense? Explain how?
