Cause: Where Cause of Death is in Doubt
(Name) was injured in the accident which occurred on (date) and (he) (she) died on
(date). Question _____ asks whether the injuries sustained in the accident were a cause of
(name)'s death. The question asks whether the injuries sustained in the accident were "a
cause" rather than "the cause" of the death because there may be more than one cause of
death. Before you may find that the injuries sustained in the accident were a cause of
(name)'s death, you must find that the injuries were a substantial factor in causing the death.
