"Cause in Fact" or "Causation" is the third element of negligence. It connects the duty and the breach of duty to the injuries to the plaintiff.
For example, in the lawsuit of Tyson Foods vs. Guzman, Guzman (a worker for Tyson Foods) was the victim of a forklift accident. The forklift operator's careless conduct was the cause in fact of the worker's injuries.

What is the difference between causation in fact and legal cause?
You must understand proximate cause first to understand "causation in fact". Proximate cause is the primary cause of an injury through reasonable forseeability. This is the legal cause of a plaintiff's injury. Withouth this cause there is no lega liability. With Causation In Fact is the "but for" test. With this cause alone does not grant liability. Proximate is the legal cause and CIF is the hunch more or less.
