CJI-Civ. 9:21
Cause — Foreseeability Limitation
The negligence, if any, of the defendant, (name), is not a cause of any (injuries)
(damages) (losses) to the plaintiff, (name), unless the defendant could have reasonably
foreseen that (insert applicable pronoun) negligence could injure a person in the plaintiff’s
situation. The specific injury need not have been foreseeable. It is enough if a reasonably
careful person, under the same or similar circumstances, would have anticipated that
injury to a person in the plaintiff’s situation might result from the defendant’s conduct.
