Defendant caused Plaintiff to have a neck problem and made her feel shaken so that, in addition to her neck-collar, her vision and judgment of space was faulty. She fell down the stairs and sustained further injuries.
QBD held that she could claim damages for the second injury as well as the first from Defendant, since the second fall was Defendant’s fault too.

If foreseeability is required, it is enough if it is foreseeable that one injury may affect a person's ability to cope with the vicissitudes of life and thereby be the cause of another injury.
