Rondini v. Bunn (N.D.

Foster (Mass. 2021). - The "value of a chance" doctrine, used to make Defendant liable in medical-malpractice cases where Defendant's negligence deprived Plaintiff of a less-than-50% chance at a recovery. Smith v. Providence Health & Services (Ore. 2017). - The declining use of a later "superseding cause" as a reason to relieve Defendant of liability, where Plaintiff's injury would not have occurred but for the occurrence of that event. Barry v. Quality Steel Prods. (Conn. 2003). - Courts' disallowance of liability for pure economic losses caused by Defendant in toxic-tort cases involving pollution of land or water. Southern Cal. Gas Leak Cases (Cal. 2019). - Government liability for ministerial errors versus sovereign immunity for discretionary decisions. Lorman v.
