foreseeability

Foreseeability refers to the ability to predict or expect that a certain event or outcome could happen as a result of a specific action or situation. It involves assessing whether a reasonable person could anticipate the potential consequences beforehand. In legal terms, foreseeability helps determine if someone should be held responsible for an outcome they could reasonably have predicted or prevented. Essentially, it’s about understanding whether the consequences were predictable and whether due care was taken to avoid them.
