Whenever an injury occured, an incident report had to be completed. The incident occured at midnight on 2nd Street.
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.

It depends on how bad the injury, fall, or incident happened.
Explain wath an whs/OHS incident is and wath an accident is? An OHS incident is an unexpected event that did not cause an injury or damage but had the potential to. An accident is unplanned event that may or may not cause injury or damage. It interrupts an activity or the completion of a certain task.
The burden of proof regarding causation is on the plantiff. Causation is important because - sometimes - a person may have died in a hospital (for example) for reasons other than negligence (for example, a pre-existing condition rather than actual negligence...and negligence must be proven). Typically, an expert witness will show causation (or an act of negligence) for the plantiff, but the defense counsel will rigorously oppose any plantiff expert witness. The litmus test for neglegence is usually permanent harm or death. Otherwise, the odds are lessened in a personal injury suit.
Factual causation is the starting point and consists of applying the 'but for' test. In most instances, where there exist no complicating factors, factual causation on its own will suffice to establish causation. However, in some circumstances it will also be necessary to consider legal causation. Under legal causation the result must be caused by a culpable act, there is no requirement that the act of the defendant was the only cause, there must be no novus actus interveniens and the defendant must take his victim as he finds him (thin skull rule).Added: Causation means causing or producing an event. Causation is the relationship of cause and effect of an act or omission and damages alleged in a tort or personal injury action. A plaintiff in a tort action must prove a 'duty' to do, or not do, an action and a breach of that duty. It must also be established that the loss was caused by the defendant's action or inaction.

It may be for technical reasons: "Accident" has implications that "incident" does not, and the incident in question may not have been accidental.
