N.C.P.I.—Civil 102.27
PROXIMATE CAUSE-CONCURRING ACTS OF NEGLIGENCE.
In defining proximate cause I explained that there may be two or
more proximate causes of [an injury] [damage]. This occurs when
separate and independent acts or omissions of different people concur,
that is, combine, to produce [injury] [damage]. Thus, if the negligent
acts or omissions of two (or more) people concur2 to produce the [injury]
[damage] complained of, the conduct of each person is a proximate
cause, even though one person may have been more or less negligent
than another.3

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
